I have a 6psi supercharger and timing is currently at 10 degrees. I've set it 12 degrees and it made more power on the dyno but I've since had a leaky head gasket. I'm not sure if it was too much timing or not letting the engine warm up fully before beating on it that caused the leak. I'd like to bump it up a little more but I'm worried that if it starts pinging I won't hear it over my exhaust.
Can you always hear pinging over the exhaust?
If you can't hear the pinging how can you tell if you have set the timing too far advanced?
