Do any of you know the timing curve you are using on the gen 3 motors? I'm doing some research on one and I think the total should be in the 22 degree range? I know it's a lot less than a LA motor




20-22* is a good rule of thumb. Maybe Mike from OST will weigh in. He's the resident tuning expert for these motors.

My experience is slightly different: my built 5.7 had quite a bit more timing in it (AFTER peak torque- all the way up to 30+). That was with dome pistons, 03-08 82cc heads, and .075 quench. Peak torque was in the 22* range if I recall. That table was worked up on the dyno.

I'll find and post the factory timing tables when I find em in my photobucket.
