what happens if I adjust the timing 5 or 10*?

[tybardy]

If I'm not mistaken, can I adjust the timing with a tune??

And how much damage would I do to my truck if I adjusted the timing up 5 or 10*? (10* is probably a lot and would yeld some pretty decent gains i think but would probably be very unsafe to run)

any insight?

You will find eternal happiness.

as I have come to learn, happiness is anything but eternal... and if my guess is correct, my motor will NOT find internal happiness... but the power gains would certainly be nice

There won't be power gains as the timing is already optimized.

 

[tybardy]

really? doesnt work like the old hot rods huh... DAMN!

wanting more power + having no money = get no more power!! hahaha

Back to the drawing board!!

 

[Rollin Thunder]

a great idea for power is to put a leaf blower on the intake. Just like a turbo.....

There are some free (very cheap) mods you can do, like the egr block of plate, and throtle body coolant bypass. There are some others but I cant think of them.

 

[tybardy]

already done the TB coolant bypass, not for any power though... not sure it actually increases power. I did it because i like to clean my TB out every 3-5k and it makes it much easier.

WTF is an EGR block??

 

[NoChrome]

well, it keeps exhaust gas out of your intake. Basicaly keeps your intake temps down and allows more oxygen to be taken in, instead of exhaust.

rattle, rattle, rattle, ....................boom

un do the egr pipe and put a solid gasket between the two lines, then bolt it back together.

 

[tybardy]

this is the first time i have ever heard about this mod... i wonder what the draw backs are on this

 

[YNOT]

you kill the o'zone layer instantly and harsh sun shine rays will beat down on your truck.... but it's worth it, that way there's always a spot light on you. lol

I hear stickers make it faster as well. Ricers swear gains of up to 60hp with stickers..

I've got a kick ass sticker I slap on with velcro when I wanna go fast.

Want free power? Just do what all the goofballs on the mustang boards do. Gut your vehicle. The lighter it is, the better mileage it gets, and the lower the HP/weight ratio is. Its like getting free power however...............it makes your vehicle less friendly when it comes to streetability, etc.
