Timing vs Fuel?
With these cars, what makes more power? I have a 06 magnum srt8 with mild mods, air hammer, exhaust and a jet thermostat running the 93CAI tune with 94 octane . I started logging at the track and was getting up to 6 KR. So i started adding fuel, i've added 6% low end, and 16% mid and high. The car is quicker with the added fuel, I ran a 12.72@110mph. I just checked my log and my timing is only peaking at about 26 degs in third. Should I be aiming for more timing and less fuel or lean it back out a bit and pull timing? My KR is almost gone now, i get 1.0 between 4000rpms-5000rpms only in first gear.

RE: Timing vs Fuel?
Honestly, it sounds like you've got it very close for now.
If you want to go any further, I'd get it to a dyno to verify A/F and you could try timing changes to see if it picks up anything.
Thanks

RE: Timing vs Fuel?
Im planning on getting a CMR tune in the future, i was basically just tuning to get rid of KR and its getting faster with the added fuel. I might have to play around a bit and try less fuel and pull some timing and see how it runs.

12.72@110 is great! I don't know that you can do any better than that without some more mods.

If you are seeing 26* of timing then you are doing pretty damn good!!! Leave it alone.

Hi guys, I'm new to the boards and been playing with my predator. I noticed the knock retard in my car too using the perf93 CAI tune. When running the data logger which parameter will show me the actual timing. i been watching ST KNK, LT KNK, RPM, BASE SPARK, ACTUAL SPARK CYL1, INTAKE AIR TEMP. AMBIENT TEMP, AND IN MAN AIR TEMP... Should i be looking at something else as well... TIA

I didnt log air temp but it was fairly cool out between 45-50 degs fSRT8Tech wrote:By the way, what was the air temp during the runs??MagnumSRT8 wrote:With these cars, what makes more power?
