I'm boosting 6 and mine's set back 7 degrees....I still get pinging if I run low quality gas.

Set it to 10 to start and test it out....the farther you retard your timing the less performance you'll acheive. But start from 10 and work forward...listen for detonation...

 

uh....isn't that a bit much?

 

hypetype: thanks for the reply..

educate the masses, what do u suggest..??

 

I think the common wisdom is 0.75 degree per psi of boost so 6 psi = 4.5 degrees retard from stock timing.

 

thanks, now how about people saying that the ECU will correct, so u have to compensate for it doing so.???
