timing

i have a 97 camaro with a v1 t-trim vortech supercharger running 6lbs of boost how much timing should i have at wot?

The amount of timing you should have is usually not a specific number that someone can give you. Its best determined by finding the amount of timing that provides the most torque at a given rpm point.

Furthermore, an optimized timing map wont give you one specific timing number at WOT. This is because you can be at WOT at ANY rpm, and rpms are what basically determines the amount of boost supplied by the supercharger.

o god. this stuff is confusing:confused: I will most likely blow my motor but then I will have a excuse to build a forged 355:D

Your best and safest bet for tuning a forced induction setup is on the dyno. That way you can hold specific rpm points and vary the load with the throttle. This allows you to tune EVERY cell in both the timing and fuel maps.

With timing, find peak torque then back off 4-5 degrees for safety.

ok thank you for the help
