Just wanted to see what methods you all used to tune timing? Pretty much advance it until it will knock then back off??
Example, I had a guy who has a supercharged cobalt who put some higher compression pistons in the car. The fuel was pretty easy to set. But I kept getting a few degrees of knock higher up in the RPM's on a full throttle pass. I pretty much used a histogram I had set up to read knock retard.....and copied and then went to the editor and did a paste special and subtracted the amount. Is this an alright way of doing it? Any tips?? Also, I had to put a little block in that area down to about 10 degrees to eliminate the knock I was seeing......will the surrounding areas be affected much without changing them?? Or is some smoothing required?
