Ignition Timing and Horsepower
Been having a pretty good debate over timing and horsepower.
Theory 1:
Less timing = spark closer to TDC = more power
(Slower motor and will need more gear though)
Theory 2:
More timing = spark ahead of TDC = more power
(Faster motor and will need less gear)
This is for circle track motors. We're trying to decide if we want to back the timing down and put more gear in the car to help it pull down the straightaways as well as get off the corner faster or if we'd be wasting our time.
Any advice?
