Is 20 degrees of timing too much for a street chip?

[d0n_3d]

I just recently had PTE burn me two chips for my new 50 lb injectors and my TE-44 turbo. The street chip has 20 degrees of timing for 93 octane while the race chip is a 108 octane chip and the timing is unknown. I was just curious as to if the street chip will be too much timing or is it just perfect? I wanted the most power I could get with a street chip and I will most likely be running 100 octane most of the time with it so I would think the 20 degrees is fine. What boost levels do you guys run with your TE-44 turbo on the street like this? (no alky)

Now as for the race chip...will I be able to still throw in 110 leaded like I did for the stocker or will I have to go higher with this new race chip say 112-116???

My RA93 chip has 20* of timing. You can run the 108 chip on 110 but you have to drain any 93 out of your tank completely. I would get a 6 gal portable can for carrying race fuel when you go to the track. You dont want to carry more fuel then that anyways probably

My street chips have 18-19 degrees of timing in them. 20 is probably okay if you have decent gas where you live. If youre goinig to run 100 octane, 20 degrees is nothing. I would have set you up with 23 degrees or so.

There are other non alcohol ways to run that kind of timing on plain 93 but that's a whole nother ball of wax so we wont go into that here.
