Posted via Mobile Device wuld i b ok maxn out my wot spark advance? Im running 1.0 adv. Running 93 oct shell an want more power

No, DO NOT just max the spark advance out.

Adjust it in small intervals (2* to 3*) at a time and then go wide open throttle under a heavy load (say 3rd gear, 16-1700 RPM) and listen for spark knock. If you don't hear any then you are ok. If it pings or knocks back the timing down 2* and go test it again.

Posted via Mobile Device well i think my programmer only advances up to 2.0... I got the diablo sport predator

 

[BurningRubber]

Maybe there is a limit set on it from the tune on there, but on mine I can advance it all the way to 10* if I chose to.

Mine is set around 5* or 5.5* advance.

Posted via Mobile Device is yours a predator as wel?

his sig says predator , you can advance the timing until it pings and like he said then back it down 2 degrees , or take it to a track and advance it as long as your MPH keeps picking up , when it doesnt pick up anymore MPH then its not making anymore power , back it back down to the the setting that netted the fastest MPH , given the 60 fts are comparible

Cool, that should help out a little bit.

Each car is different as to how much timing you can advance before it will start to ping... 4* advance should help out a little without needing to worry too much about pinging as long as you stay using 93 octane.

Posted via Mobile Device wel dats al i will run is 93 shell v power... Whats a good octane booster that wnt mess up my sensor or trash my fuel pump

 

[mustangman9812]

Dont run a octane booster. 93 octane will do, i personally will not run any kind of octance booster. Also dont switch fuel grades alot, if you run 93 octane run 93 octane, dont switch lot from 87, 89, & 93. Even when gas was super high I would still run 93 octane but I dont drive my car at all hardly lol. For a dd you better just stay with mid grade. Just a therory I have about octanes and fuel pumps ect. I might be wrong or it might sound stupid but since I put my new fuel pump in i have only ran 93 octane and its been going good for 4 years.

The predator spark adjust moves in percentages, not degrees...it's rather confusing, but that's how they do it. Their forums are excellent though...I've had great support via their website. DiabloSport :: Gas and Diesel Tuning Systems
