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 ?

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

I am at 30 degrees. Anyone running more?
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.
