Not to bring up a dead thread but im jumping back onto this. Car still running hard 1.5hr + every day. Ran a tank of 87 this week and still no knock. I limited it to 8psi just in case.

This morning i marked my balancer up to 40 degrees, and while in emulation mode i commanded 0,10,20, and 30 degrees timing and checked with timing light and it corresponded on the balancer. Is there somthing im missing? Slipped harmonic balancer is the only thing I can think of but i had TWO identical balancers.

While launching off 2 step i get ALOT of backfire and flames out the exhaust which is another indicator of fairly low ignition timing (just shy of 40 degrees commanded at that load and rpm)

while im making a fair amount of power i know the car isnt putting down what it probably should just based off other's experiences and would like to really push this thing but I just cant bring myself to ignore the timing numbers on my tune....
