Is it a 'go as high as you canw/o pinging' type of thing or is 14* the perfect setting. I currently have mine at 17* and it doesn't ping but I'm running 93 octane. Can I get away with running 87 or 89 cause 93 is expensive?
For instance, I get pinging in high gear, low RPM, low load (a time when Grady noted TT to be over 40*). I do alright otherwise. So I simply had to 'tune' (as well as a caveman can) for the worst case scenario regaring pinging (I could use more at WOT but don't as a compromise).
In my mind, as Grady has pointed out so many times, it comes down what what us old guys think of as a crappy timing curve (thinking about TT for all conditions with this load-based processor). You could say that our timing curves are not optimal (they're ok up top sometimes, but suck in the midrange).
Wait a minute Mr Nacho. Dont you run a fox processor? If so, forget some of that load-based stuff. For the most part, you can time it for WOT ping (that be how I do it on the fox, at least).
I dont know if anybody has told you this..........
But I LOVE reading your post because of the knowledge and class..........
but also cause I get a kick out of how you use the smillys

Your Kind to say those things
The Smilies are just sitting there to the right ... begging to be used
As for the knowledge
If you pick up a bit every day .........
It can be accumulated over time I reckon
then again ....
When you get old as me
you start to find out you can't recall none of it
The info on how the pcm manipulates spark and fuel
Peeps come to me with an attitude of like ....
Its some kind of Black Magic
It's Not
The basic operation can be learned fairly easily
The more challenging stuff can be learned a bit at a time ....
You know! ... Like the old story of ... How do you eat an Elephant?
One Bite At A Time
Hey ... I encourage em to try and learn just the basics
I put basic simple stuff up on a site
I put simple stuff up here
I don't know
If they think its all a bunch of Dark Secrets
or
Some kind of Monumental task to learn it
I guess they are a bit in the "Dark" ... when they think ............
I've done something they consider to be Smart
If you think about it
Its really no different than learning how to
put parts together that will give your Stang more "get up and go"
