I want to see 50
I tried raising my tire pressure up from the 30 psi I have it at to 44ish which is shy of the tire manufacturers Max psi. The ride was unbearable. So I went back down after a week or so. Maybe I could split the difference. (The 195s I'm running probably don't help economy )Admittedly I have been helping my friend out by hauling his stuff (and him) around after his house burned down. So that could be the cause of my latest tank at 40 MPG...What weight synthetic should I run? Im also running a td block and injectors with a n/a pump and no turbo. Could there be some negative effects of that setup? Should I retard timing some because of the td injectors? Add my vnt? Turn down my pump? Sent from my ThunderBolt using Tapatalk 2
Man I missed this thread. Tapatalk has been not notifying me lately.Anyway. I am running a lot of advance. Maybe too much. Which is why I considered backing it off a bit. I took to heart vince waldons statement that the worst thing that can happen with too much advance is bad power and bad fuel economy, evidenced by white smoke. Currently my timing is set at 1.37mm. After I got the timing close I knew the turbo injectors were gonna be different so since it was running rough I just kept advancing it little by little till it started running good. Then checked timing again. I don't use the cold start mechanism and the car starts flawlessly. But now after seeing my efficiency over the past few tanks I think I might need to back it down to the 1.20 range or so. . .Hopefully I don't get flamed too hard for timing by ear Also: when I put the vnt on my plan was to set timing back to 1.05 and tweak from there.Sent from my ThunderBolt using Tapatalk 2
I once had somebody accuse ME of hill-billy tuning.. (timing by ear).. I don't use an injector pump or cam shaft lock, simply because I do not have too. Also been accused of hill-billy tuning because of that.. lmaoJive with me for a second, If the timing process were needed to be SO PERFECT then why is the crank shaft allowed to move freely during the process?? Why does it not have a lock?
...BTW your Bieber avatar is awesome.-Malone
The crank doesn't need locked as the cam and IP are holding it in place..
