what are guys going to for max timing ? just want to kinda get a base line for when i hit the dyno soon. also i thought some one posted a calculator for finding your max timing but i couldnt find it ?

[2007 5.9]

Without dyno, I don't go over 25* max

ok thanks . i am only at 22 right now

25* for me. heres the link for the timing calculator. theres also good video on there how to use it, and tuning info. if the link dont work let me know ill email it to you

I am at 30 degrees. Anyone running more?

did you dyno tune to get that high ?

I talked to a well known dyno Queen tuner (has multiple EFI YouTube videos posted) about running lots of timing and I was surprised just how much he was running on the 5.9L's given their setups. I was running 27* but was having issues keeping it cool running the 1/4 mile. Jacked it up to 31* and brought down the temps but had to take a couple degrees out at 22-2600ish RPM (when the truck up shifted) because you could hear the motor just sound nasty (not good) because the CP3 couldn't provide rail pressure in that range. But I do have a REAL pump on the way that should take care of that. I'm a bit leery too since I'm running 45~psi on stock valve springs/head bolts.

FYI, I'm running that time with ~120hp or 45% nozzles and a 2800uS @ 22.5k psi fuel pressure. Once I get a REAL pump, I'm gonna try 24k psi rail and see what she does as far as temp and lower RPM range I was stating about above. But I really need to strap her down to a dyno to be honest like Les said.
