Unless it snaps

My grandpa passed earlier this week so I've been dealing with all that but I took the whole week off and might try and get the car running by the end of the weekend. I miss this car a lot lol

My condolences. Perhaps working on the car can give some emotional diversion.

Got it halfway buttoned up. It's hot here, and I fucked my ankle up so things go slowly.

Got the coolant burped and exhaust installed. Need to do a bolt check and get it back on the ground before a test drive.

Hopefully track day on the 2nd.

Car drove today. Smokes when you get on the gas after engine braking....so I just shift into neutral.

Probably tired rings but I don't care at this point. It's nice to have a running car again.

T00ning question.

Old setup was 8.6 weisco pistons, new setup is 99-00 stock pistons. (so 9.5:1?)

How much timing should I pull as a base map. I was thinking 5* in boost. 3* out of boost?

I dont think I would change anything under 100 kpa.

Should have clarified. I meant pulling timing in boost.

I'm going to knock a few degrees out under 100kpa, but mostly i care about 0-5psi.

Pulled some timing in the midrange, trying to keep torque low on stock rods.

150kpa will make 200ft/lbs, so I'm staying below that for track duty.

Why does it go up and down as boost increases?
