timing question
 

What is the standard timing for a Mustang?

Mine is no longer stock and it probably has a different setting now.My question is..........can I advance my timing to a point where I get better performance,but can still drive on the street with no problems?

Any advice or suggestions wil be greatly appreciated. :D

Stock timing is 10 Degrees

You can advance it as high as 15 Degrees. See what degree works best for you.

15 is not the limit. It all depends on the car and its setup. I have run mine at 18 deg base with no detonation. I keep it at 16 deg. You will just have to play with it and find a number you like.

Usually 14 is a good place to keep it. Depending on whats done to the motor...i as well, run mine a 18 with no prob, but its far from stock.

You should be able to look at my car specs and see the Mods I have done and then maybe get a better idea of what timing setting I should use.

Just a thought..........

It really doesn't matter. Only you will be able to tell. There is no set formula. engine mods, altitude, gas quality, air temp, and the day of the week your block was made all have an effect. Trial and error is the only answer.

Take care,
