I can't tell you much about this engine of yours you haven't told me what it is or even what it's running on. I can say that being a drag motor I doubt peak torque was below 3500 RPM as you said. So having all 44° in by 2500 is too fast, 44° at 2500 rpm is alot.
First you say you know nothing about the motor, then turn around and say that 44° in by 2500 is too fast. You need to make up your mind, either you know enough to talk about the motor or you don't. You can't have it both ways.

Still off topic buddy, I challanged you to tell me how the engine cares what it's in.

I (like you) don't claim to be able to read minds, so I only know what you tell me about this engine. So far you haven't told me much, only that the timing is coming in too quick, and you claim to have 44° total. You haven't said if it's running gas? compression ratio? blown? for starters. Look it's your motor you claim to have, you do what you will. I'm just trying to get correct info out there. If you want to do stupid things I don't care, just don't recommend them to others that don't know not to listen.

What off the subject? Your the one that contradicted youself. Not me. Yeah, it is a lot of timing but even with the car stock it added a 1/10th of a second to the ET and the motor didn't blow up, so see again you're the one that is wrong.

There you go avoiding the questions again.

It's sounding more and more like your agreeing with me, how then could I be wrong?

What question am I supposedly avoiding? Since you haven't really asked my anything specifically that requires more of an answer than I've given.

I said this statement was completely false here;

You disagreed here;

So again you are wrong!
And I asked you to explain yourself here, not just make blanket statements and vague insults.

The only thing that matters is the specs of the engine, the cam, compression ratio, how well it breaths, and the mixture/fuel. The engine is just a mechanical device that creates torque, it doesn't care what that torque is used for. Wether it is in a drag car, a work truck, or just turning a pump the same engine with the same fuel needs the exact same timing. If you think I'm wrong tell me how it matters to the function of the engine.

That is the question you are avoiding. Along with any details on this motor that likes all the weird timing. Or do you have a selective memory that only remembers things the way you want to remember them.

You have obviously never heard of what gears do to torque and how a heavy load effects how fast and engine can increase rpm. When you learn about towing come talk to me until then get stuffed!

OH, Bear are you lashing out at me, don't get mad at me just because your wrong.

Apparently you like to dish it out, but can't take it in return, and I'm nicer about it then you are.
