Yes I had -1 degree for every PSIA over 15. Would retard so far engine would bog.

Took all retarding out of cells. Car took off and boosted fine.

Almost thinking vvt is fighting the map

" Yes you had it -1 degree for every psi over 15 psi? "

You're telling me until 15 psi you're running 30 degrees of (final) timing?

he's talking about absolute, PSIA

and like I said, he was too retarded

Add 10 pounds of boost I was retarded 10 degrees further than stock

Ah absolute psi, never heard of that term but cool. Well 10 degrees vs stock puts u at 20 degrees at 10 psi. Most people run about 16-17. Anyways u cant be driving with no timing control so figure that out.

Wait so now you're running a boosted VVT motor on factory timing maps?

I just boosted it once I'm not dumb enough to run car like that. Just found what was causing problem

when does it hit a wall?

I have a mint 01 long block sitting here for when you blow this one with the crappy FIC and your crappy tuning

Try reading the thread?

18psi keep on hatin. This is all a learning process.

Well technically he is right. For some the learning process is more expensive than for others.

What's your spark gap?

Subbed for blown motor pics.

..042

42 should be ok for 1-2 psi. Probably will get blowout at over 5 psi though.

What is the "suggested" plug gap?

anything over 10psi on stock nb1 coils at .027-.030"

Its COP ignition was told 42 would be fine

Yeah that sounds about right.
