    Safe to go Beyond -40* Intake Cam - Gen 1 Coyote?

    I have heard that you are safe from PTV up to the hard stops for the phasers.

    Can anyone confirm?

    Thanks!

    Same here. I wouldn't go higher.
    Knock Retard is the reduction or prevention of knock by lowering ignition timing:

    (+) Adding Knock Retard = Reducing Timing. PCM is seeing knock.
    (--) Lowering Knock Retard = Increasing Timing. PCM isn't seeing knock.

    I think -50* is the mechanical limit, where it hits the phaser hard stop.
