CenWaSS Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 IDK much about tuning so bare with me. Anyway my current tune starts to pull timing at 130deg and my top end seems to be way off. Im getting another tune where timing wont be pulled until 160deg, is that going to be safe for my SS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheatley Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I would not personally no sir,when the IAT's get that warm it is prone to detination,as the incoming gets hotter it becomes less dense,therefor timing should be reduced.

So your saying pulling timing at 160deg is to high? At what temp should timing begin to be removed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpalaSSpeed96 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Wow, 160 in WA? Can't you manipulate the IAT's in the tune in the SSS's? I have mine manipulated so it doesn't pull timing, and my truck runs extremely well in the heat. So well that I barely shave 4 tenths in over 3000DA differences. My Imp can cut almost a second off in that kind of weather swing... Or isn't there some kind of relocation kit to get more accurate IAT's?

Sounds like I should be ok then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpalaSSpeed96 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I just let my tuner do the magic... Itll pull timing, but not sure where. I would listen to Charlie, he does tune these trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Wow no timing being pulled for you? Sounds like I should be ok then... Careful, your supercharged. It is a whole different ball game vs. N/A tuning when it comes to pulling timing via IAT adder tables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, timing is very important when it comes to force feeding air!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mean05 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 it also matters what you total timing is and how much boost you are running and if you have meth on it, i start pulling timing from mine at around 100° running meth at that....i start it pulling 1° and end up pulling a total of 7° in the 150°+ tables...basically you should let you tuner do what he does, you start telling him what to do and you will blow up your motor...having that little extra hp isnt worth $4-5k is it?

Definaltey agree...my tuner is the one who suggested pulling timing at 160deg. I thought that sounded high thats why Im tryng to get some info and opinions on this issue How will I know, before its to late, that pulling timing at 160 is damaging things? Will I hear pinging/knocking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I hear pinging/knocking? he will see it knocking in the scan...if you hear it detonating thats not a very good thing, specially with boost...i would take his advice on the timing issue only if he will cover a new motor for you lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymz Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 sounds like you should find another tuner. 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 sounds like you should find another tuner. I agree with Danny. That is just ridiculous and a good way to end up buying a new motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
