    Safe Max Timing Whipple 392

    So been trying to get my scat pack into the 6 and after getting close im still only making 7.22 passes at 99.89mph My main concern is i dont want to grenade it as im still on the stock pistons and rods. Im running the stage 2 Whipple kit at 8# I know im already pushing my luck but id really like to see it be the first 6 second (in my area at least) car thats completely stock other than a Whipple. No drag radials stock suspension everything stock. So this leads me into my question of whats considered a safe timing mark?? Should i just keep adding it until it stops making power?? Or would i eventually just make power until the piston lets go??? I keep a close eye on knock and only see blimps of it in the tune (-.5) so i feel like i could go more with timing. Or should i look into the transmission side of thing to shave off what time i can there as i haven't touched the TCM as of yet.. Would like any opinions good or bad , Im still learning and am by no way a expert in tuning but love making power!!

    What is your current timing table looking like? What are your AFRs at? Posting your tune and logs will help other professionals here guide you in a good direction.

    Trans tune will definitely help you with trap speed. Stock 1-2 shift is like 5800rpm and right about 6000ish after that.

    I will upload the tune file and a few logs later thanks FYI im running 17* from @ 3500-6500 AFR bounces around and haven't got it under control but stay on the rich side of things from 11.0 @ 4k to around 12.8 up top at shift. My commanded (11.8) AFR isn't matching my Actual reading and need to dive into it a little harder to figure it out.. Keep in mind these numbers are not exact just off the top of my head will post the tune and log later for details. thanks

    Sorry been out for a few days, I'm very aware of the AFR being lean up top and i DONT drive with my foot on the floor. I will post my tune ASAP so i can get some more feedback on where i need to make some adjustment. My main concern is max timing and also why im not getting my commanded AFR's, also my LTFT are way in the 15% range and adjusting the pulse width shows no improvements. I'm obviously missing something so all the help is appreciated. Logs to posted soon at work now.....

    Without seeing your tune, if your AFR is off at WOT your fuel trims will do bubkas as the power enrichment table takes over (depending on where WOT voltage is set).

    as mentioned post your tune, thats alot of ignition advance and mopar doesnt like being very lean and their pistons are very sensitive to heat, i am sure with small adjustments you can reach your goal

    Fuel is your answer here, hopefully you're already running some sort of race fuel already, but I would def recommend some Q16 or Ignite 116. Q16 will help make additional power given its oxygenated, and Ignite will def help preserve those pistons and make your knock window a bit wider.


    If you are on 93 octane, I would be scoping your motor already for some lost ring lands.

    Thanks SRT8 im not running anything but 93, i understand for the concern but if i had a cracked or broken ring land wouldn't i know it? The car runs good other than getting lean on the shifts. I do appreciate the advise, If i did scope the bore i assume i would notice a broke ring land, scoring walls and what not.

    Nope, you can have a perfectly running car with ringland damage.

    But yes, if you look inside your pistons, you will definitely see a broken ringland. It's hard to miss.
