ok so went and logged my car today and am not happy.

First pass i was getting 46 degress of timing...no knock... Confused i retarded the timing all the way..idle the timing was at 11..all the way retarded. Did a p ass on the car. It fell on its face, the motor was revving fine. It just wasnt going anywhere. So im thinking boost leak right? wrong. I did a test and the only leak was a little leak on my BOV flange. So i call a buddy he says rotate the CAS 180* so i do this start the car back up and try and set the timing, the lowest i can get is 11*....

So im stumped, any help? please...

a bit about my setup....

t04b (16g)
255hp pump
rc 550cc injectors
afpr(set to 37psi without the vaccum line hooked up)
SAFC
24x12x3 Fmic
HKS ssqv bov...

any other mods needed lemme know...
 
Please go back and put evenything back the way it's ment to be. Make sure that the CAS timing marks are correctly aligned and the base timing set to 5 BTDC.

Make sure that when your looking at timing your only looking at WOT numbers. Under deceleration the timing will go up into the 40 degree range but if you seeing that under WOT there is something up with your datalogger or something is confusing the ECU.
