Ignition Timing Question
I have a question reguarding ignition timing...
On my car I use a REAL ECU, which is a pretuned ecu designed for a base turbo setup. However my setup has minor differences such as 440cc injectors (rather then 400cc which it was designed for) and also a now ported head.
Before my engine detonated (which was because my SAFC2 settings defaulted and I forgot to recall my previous settings... yes a very stupid error i know) I was running good. Now when i was running 15 psi, I didnt ping or anything, so does that mean my timing was top notch? Now if my timing was bad, what effects would I be having?
