So? Does that mean it’s what the engine really wants? I doubt it, as most engines I know want a curve of some sort.


Why? Drag race? I've never had a drag race engine run at anywhere below 5000, after the hit, unless it was on the stop for .90 racing for a few seconds. Most of the time, they are well above 3k before the hit.

Unless it's a street driven, foot brake non-two stepped or Heavy Eliminator deal, I don't know anyone else who would spend any amount of time below 3K.

Now I do know people who need to use timing retard for any number of reasons at different places on the race track.



So I are saying an engine doesn’t need a timing curve as long as the RPM is 5000-9000k? I don’t see it that way.


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
