    I run mine in the same range, even up to .94 every time I roll into the water box and I'm on petrol I'd run more on alcohol. My Crossflow wouldn't go that high but then again you need 10 degrees more timing in a Crossflow then a Barra
     
    .88 under load is to rich for these engines mph loss is a result.

    Im running 38mm ITB's ATM might look into some 48-50mm and see what happens.

    Well I finished this up a few weeks back, haven't had time to drive the car more than a couple of laps, but thought I'd post the update and pics. Once again thanks for the help guys, special thanks to Greg for the message bouncing back and forth. Overall, completely different motor as expected. Most notably, there is no comparison below 2500rpm drivability due to the multi spark, every stumbling issue is pretty much gone. Secondly, motor no longer breaks down at 4800rpm, now just goes straight to the 5500rpm limiter like nothing, direct result of CDI & big coil vs 'standard' inductive & coil. Cranking retard means car starts easy plus the million other features I'm yet to use on the box but will be for sure.
     
    Will be creating two maps for now (hot and cold conditions) until i wire up a switch and load the 'hot' map under the nitrous retard function. The All in timing atm is at 27 degree @ 5000rpm (cold conditions) and still no pinging, but i think thats where ill leave it for now as I have a feeling its probably just about to approach the peak where gains are little and detonation is next. Now its just up to setting up the rest of the curve from idle below maximum timing and get the entire mid range torque right up as its still on the 'get it going' timing map. Also put it all together in a way that the tuning is done from the passenger seat so no need to pop the bonnet anymore! Definitely a worthwhile upgrade as everyone here has stated, even if its just a simple street fire setup, the CDI box with a decent coil changes the whole engine up and I was lucky to get the equipment here at a price i couldn't refuse. Enjoy the pics!

    You could work it out via ohm law or V = I x E but TBH the run is not long enough to show any loss IMO. Plus mine is in the cab and I gained HP over the 6AL2 with a longer coil leed than yours.
     
    I'd suggest you would drop around 0.25% of a volt without working it out,but voltage is not the key here amps are.

    LOL always something Tony, this engine should run a high 8 sec pass and when it does it will be yeah but you can't beat Ken!! love it. totally different racing programs.
     
    No one will beat Ken, NO ONE!! period..... not even a hammer-wielding god engine from FNQld!!!

    Been a while since i have put an update up here, I finished off the last season well then sort of missed the mark in the finial shootout, still learning the car.
     
    I have now just been fine tuning the little things and trying different things as well. We did a couple of test n tunes in dec & jan trying a new gearbox pickup setup and changed the cam sensors from magnetic pickup to hall effect of coarse i had to make some mounts for them and they are different intake to exhaust side. I also deiced to get rid of the original door trims and make up some alloy sheet versions to replace them because race car and all. That was all done before the start of the new season.
     
    I ran a 1/8th mile radial race recently and had wanted to try E85 again in this engine. So to do that I changed out the injectors then its all in the keyboard tell the ecu what injectors you have, what the molar mass of the fuel is and a couple of other fuel settings and the ecu will re-tune the petrol map to suit E85. The car performed about the same which was expected but man E85 burns nice, all the tops of the pistons were cleaned and all the plugs were nice and clean. I deiced to leave it for now though and head back to 98 and run my regular season on it though.
     
    We have been fine tuning the cam timing particularly the exhaust cam. When changing the sensors to hall we now have a better signal and have found some gains there. I can't wait for some cooler weather as so far it's about a 10th of a second faster then this time last year!! Also willowbank have changed the et cutoff for the series I run from 11.50 to 10.50 so no dramas trying to slow the car down in winter.

    cheers boys, the reasoning behind the 32 degrees was cause i didn't think i would need any less than 7 degrees advanced so the 32 was just so i get the full spectrum of adjustability from the MSD, but yeh i guess i could dial in the crank timing at maybe 28 but restrain myself to something lower like 23 give take after testing will leaving a few degrees of headroom if i need for any reason. 
     
    once again broken wheel i understand the reasoning behind the alloy head thats why i have one here, I'm just doing these bits as time and funds permit, MSD is what i want to do in the immediate feature and once thats done the alloy head will start getting attention
