    Wondering how much timing/boost you've run.

    good question, just getting started with a 10* DRCE2 procharged combo, would like to hear experience other than "it won't work".

    I've been running my 12° combo for over a year now. Roots blown, haven't gone over 30# boost and 24° timing. So far so good, the plugs show it could stand a little more timing. Just wondering if anyone else has experience with a combo like this...…...

    I have seen 47 lbs of boost with a procharger. Timing wise depending on weather 24-27 degrees. There is a bunch left in it.

    Sean, I wasn't too concerned about going with more boost, pretty sure it can handle more, mainly the timing with these small chamber heads......do you run a 12° combo?

    72cc chamber it was opened up from 56cc. 2&8 needed timing taken away they will nip the plugs. I do not think I would push it anymore then 30 degrees. I do not know your complete combo either.

    It all ties into each other. Who did your fuel system? I would want to see the fuel curve and what is happening in each cylinder. How deep is the dish on your piston? 2.400 or 2.45 valve?
