New motor gone...

Based on your post and recommendation to the OP, I'm wondering what total timing you'd run...


Depending on camshaft and some other things,on 8lbs I'd start at 32-33 not pulling any and read the plug from there. I've seen some sb stroker stuff make more power with more(35+) and some with less (30-34). This being said, if the intercooler isn't efficient, maybe start a tad lower. Also, non projected plugs are a must.


Most people wait till 8-10psi on turbo cars to pull timing to aid with spooling as well.
