Default Running 35* timing with no KR!!!!!!!!!!

I did some playing around today with the spark dwell. I added 2.2ms to the scale on everything below 6. So now the dwell is running in the upper 6.8's. The difference is huge, I can spinn my tires for a few feet now off the line. I have the timing upped to 35*@WOT and getting no KR. I was getting 1-2* KR with 28* timing before.

Also I was getting 2-4* KR just running around town and sometimes on the highway. It just kinda came and went. Now with the added dwell I get none at all. Its freaking sweet. The 7* more timing also with no KR feels much faster at WOT.

LOL no I'm still stuck up in Maine. It gets up to a whopping 75* here once in awhile. If I was back in Texas I would be filling up with E85, and I could still run crazy timing. I can feel the difference, especaily off the line. I wonder if I can get at least into the mid 15's in this beast.

I'm stationed at Brunswick NAS. I "should" get out in July if they dont extend me again. The sooner the better.

What is the local "scene"? Where is Milo?

basicaly its how long the coil is charged. The higher charge=higher spark. With a hotter/longer spark there is less chance of it blowing out or detinating. The better spark also makes better TQ.
