[QUOTE="C5Performance, post: 131475, member: 2938"] On my Ural I run 40 degrees until the bike starts acting up then I back down to 36 and its much happier. This is why I am in love with Power Arc based electronics. The ignition is precise enough to hold a true timing curve, and you can actually feel the changes. Hooch is also a great example of why sometimes a special curve works (not usually). Playing with slightly modified cars and cycles has taught me that rarely do you need to go above what the factory used for timing. Once you introduce a LOAD on the engine it becomes extremely efficient and timing must be retarded, not advanced. Hooch is a highly modified motorcycle with increased torque AND reduced gearing. You have a motorcycle that is under FAR LESS LOAD than a standard motorcycle. It allows Hooch to operate with greater timing advance on pump fuel than most engines, without detonation. If you added a sidecar and trailer you would finally introduce enough load where Hooch would probably need to use 38-40 degrees (or less) of total advance. I encourage conversation about this, and we are planning to create a few PODCASTS that will be posted on our website. The relationship between Timing, Fuel, and Engine Load is one of the discussions we'll host. Email your subject request to [email=paul@c5ignitions.com]paul@c5ignitions.com[/email] and we will begin creating a schedule based on public demand. Everyone who has interest in great running vehicles will find useful information when listening to these Podcasts (it's like talk radio but will be recorded for future listening). [/QUOTE]
