Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

my KR

it aint staying at 22 degrees I can assure you of that. 22 deg BTDC at 4K would cook your exhaust valves and probably not give enough power to go any higher.

id assume our engines are seeing 40-50+ deg of advance near redline.
 


Hmm maybe i'm wrong tho? I donno, i'm going on very old old information.

Matt : do you have any info on the timing curves the 3800 specifically uses?

It's not a curve so much as it is a map. Matt posted one there in that link. I have a few from HP Tuners if you'd like to see them.
 


Wow, all these years I was looking at timing advance backwords. I always assumed under load you had more advance. It looks like you can run 40+ deg of advance but not under load.



And at the same time, I think the long mystery of why my 87 grandprix pinged BAD even on 94 octane is solved. I swapped out almost every part even the ECM at one point, it still pinged. I even swapped in different metering rods and had it rich to the point it smoked a decent amount floored, still pinged. And we're talking it pinged to the point it sounded like a diesel.

The more you opened the carb, the more it pinged. It didn't ping idling, or under light load\cruising. The ONE PART i never changed was the vacuum sensor. I bet it wasn't retarding the timing as the vacuum dropped (load increased)

Looks like I learned a lot from this thread ;)
 
k, did a couple wot runs on my aeroforce and came up with this:

its actually 28* timing

o2 is 890-900

KR is 2-3.5* KR on 93 octane vs the 7-8* on 87


so, looks like if i had it down to 26* of timing, i would have 0* KR on 93 octane....
