more of a statement I guess than a question.
I am running a vortech s-trim superchsrger that is non intercooled. I see about 14psi with hot input air temps around 210* at the end of the track.
I am using sunoco purple(110 octane). Target A/F about 12-1. Whats freaking me out is I have been slowly adding more and more timing trying to creep up on the HP peak without blowing head gaskets, and I am now up to 29* at full boost and 6000 rpm. How can this be?
car does not feel like it has slowed due to predetonation, and plugs look just fine(no red specks or maroon tint to them). Is this weird or has anyone else had a similar experience?
Kinda scared to go any higher. I will be going to the dyno in the morning, to do some testing to see if 11-1 or 12.5-1 A/F ratio or anything in-between works best. Maybe I will learn something there.
