2STROKIN_IT Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 So I installed a adjustable timing plate on my 99 banshee but don't know where I set it?? Like what do I have look at to set the degree on it?? I assumed that the center line where the top and cases meet as my guide to set the timing is this correct? Thanks again amigos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2STROKIN_IT Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Yeah it did and I set it at +4.. Thanks a lot I just wanted to verify that I did it correctly. Guess a little common sense does pay off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_smith97 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Are you running pump or alky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2STROKIN_IT Posted April 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Just pump.. Should I not be?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_smith97 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Did I miss where he said what fuel he is running and what compression he's at? If your running pump gas the +4 is good. If your on alky you can up it to 7 or 8 maybe more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zillaguy Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Im on pump fuel at +7° Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_smith97 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Im on pump fuel at +7° Good to know, I may try to push mine a little higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Im on pump fuel at +7°who did the domes, and what type of squish clearance, band width, chamber CC, and type of compression. There are quite a few pump motors with conservative domes that really wake up at 6-7 degrees and do it safely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasi S. Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Every motor is a little different. In my opinion +4 is good and safe "starting point". I have read, that only few motors didn´t like anything over +2 or +3. I have basic bolt on´s with home made porting. I have custom cut domes, 9mm band, 20cc and 1.15mm squish. 155-160psi.With our "93" pump gas, I have been up to +8.5 on timing without any issues. However I didn´t feel any "gains" after +7.5. I felt a huge gain going from +5 to +7. Mostly I have been around +7 with T5´s and A&S Drag pipes. ..oh - and this is from sea level up to ~500ft above.

2STROKIN_IT Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Yeah judging by all the input I may just leave as is till I rebuild. Last owner said it hadn't had the top end rebuilt in about 4 years. I'm almost sure that's not true, I'm gonna use the equation that every man should use when they ask a girl how many guys they have slept with.... Answer x 2= The truth!!!! Than I will mess with timing again, I'm gonna end up splitting the cases and giving it a once over than install 4 mil crank and all accommodations that go with it. Thanks again guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
