but he's supercharged...... It could be different from turboing

1 step colder plugs?Tuned?advance the timing alittle

just some ideas

**facepalm**

just advance the timing as far as it will go and turn the boost up

[Tsukiko]

if anything you want to retard timing to keep from detonating

This thread has the potential to be epic

I second this notion.

[awretham]

The mechanical timing won't have changed, nor should the ignition timing unless it was manually adjusted, has the car been mapped to suit the s/c setup?

If possible get an ECU tune or an MSD BTM and set base ignition timing to stock.

If you can't get either, at least retard base timing about 1/2 deg. for every psi of boost over 4 and keep max boost under 8-9 psi.

Always use the FSM procedure to adjust ignition timing.

I thought of that later on

take it to a reputable tuner.
