Retarding the timing will give you less power, in general.

Strobe the timing and then you won't have to guess....some of these Evo riders are in denial about how quick TC's are though...bigger motor, twin cams.....they are already past Evo stage 1 from stock.

I know some people will have issues with that but boo hoo, they is just the facts...

You let a stock 88tc beat up on you?

I hang my head in shame.


Just Kidding!

So cut to the chase....

Did you go up to the museum curator and tell him, his cars were filthy?????

I just know you were looking for a bottle of chrome polish....


Go buy an hour (or less) of dyno time at a reputable shop that knows how to tune a carb and set up an EVO.
