I advanced my timing the car pulls great, but it feels like it is struggleing at higher speeds The RPM gauge takes for ever to rev up. Did I over advanced the timing?

generally, on a moderatly stock motor, advancing the timing gives the car more lowend and midrange power and response. Retarding the timing will make the lowend and midrange slower, but topend can make more power. But every car is different, so it really depends on your mods to determine the best place.

Default What do you think about the Helix Power Tower

The HELIX POWER TOWER raises the throttle body injection unit 1 inch. The additional height combined with the unique HELIX spiral flow design creates a vortex air flow that greatly improves fuel atomization. This results in more complete combustion. Dyno tests resulted in up to 20 more horsepower, dramatically increased torque and improved fuel economy. Will this work on a honda?

It's just a gimmick. You're lucky if it does anything whatsoever.

Did you have to make any changes on your engine before install the turbo? Everyone it telling me that if I put a turbo on my system, I will blow my head. Is this true? How much lbs of boost are you running?
