    Need Help

    I just rebuilt the motor on my 85GN. I am getting spark advance of 26.1 degrees at idle. Do these numbers look right? I am running E-85 with 60lb injectors and a new turbo tweek chip set up for E85. I have no experience reading power logger data. Thanks Frank

    No start question

    FYI - Timing Sprocket

    For anyone who is new to hot airs, when you start your performance upgrades, consider starting with looking at your timing sprocket. Attached should be a picture of what was left to mine after 111k. I got very lucky, I'm suprised the car ran. I was down to four teeth left on the sprocket:eek:
