Total timing vs initial timing for max HP.

This is your timing with the spout in and the engine above 3000 rpm. I personally never pull the spout, I always check timing at total advance. The highest I would take this is 36 degrees.

What octane fuel are you running?

When I try the total timing I will be running 100 octane sunoco racing fuel.

I will run 36 degrees of total timing and see what happens.

I am just trying to hit a high 12 by any means necessary.

With my luck i will probably run a 13 flat or a 13.1
