Timing setting with milled head
How much should I retard my ignition timing now that I am installing a .020 milled head ?? BTW, the chambers were re-shaped to gs-r style so compression will be increased further than the milling. Thanks !!

Re: Timing setting with milled head (iperez)
Best ignition timing would depend upon a number of factors including the gasoline available to avoid detonation.
The other problem is that your cam timing has changed now being retarded 1.5-2.0 degrees shoving the power band up a bit. You might want to consider adjustable cam gears along the way to compensate, especially if you change cams.

werd...definitely get some adjustable cam gears..

Re: (iperez)
You're beyond 'recommendations' and into the land of intense tuning.
You need to get the best cam timing, fuel settings, and ignition timing. Perhaps I should have said 'tuning' rather than 'timing'.
Probably the best bet is a stand-alone system where you can control the ignition timing as well as the fuel.
