Is My IP Turned Up?

And 55-65 mph cruising is down to about 500-550*

sounds much safer.run 'er like you stole it.

For sure. I can still get up to 1200*, but unloaded I have to really try. We'll see how she does with the 5'er in a few weeks.

Our dyno tests back at the 10th annual IDI Weekend revealed 8.5 to 9.5 degrees to be the sweet spot. Any more or less, and you give up performance. The thing you have to remember about playing with your fuel screw, is it messes with the internal timing curve as well, which pretty much messes up the entire calibration, but that's neither here nor there. Increasing your fuel rate will retard your timing, and reducing your fuel rate will advance your timing. A stock pump will give you about 1100 degrees EGT on a sustained grade with your foot to the floor. This will vary depending on elevation and cetane value.

Awesome
So where do you set the fuel screw for a baby?
I ask so as to see where i'm at...
Just pulled priest's grade( hwy 120 ) norcal.
Claimed to be in the 8-11.5 percent grade...?
Mid 70* ambient range, 215 h20 max egt 1100. 2-3 rd gear 12# boost.
5500 fiver on the bed.

Shooting for a baseline before I get this pump to you.
Thanx cb

I PM'd Mel when I turned the IP down. He said backing the fuel off a flat can affect timing up to a full degree, so my timing is probably closer to 10* now. Hoping this will all work out until I can get a timing light adapter or my own Tach-N-Time. Hopefully next year I'll get to do a baby moose swap.

I need a new steering gear and shaft soon along with new tires and a traction device of some sort...and the newer ring, pinion and yoke for the 10.25.
