Way to get off topic buddy, are you just affraid your wrong.
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.

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.

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

RPM for total advance depends on vehicle weight, gearing and what you are planning on doing with the truck. Towing will require higher rpm than a light truck with a 4.10 rearend. General recommendation is 3000 rpm for light truck and normal driving. While 3500 rpm for heavy truck and/or towing.
But that's exactly what I'm saying BOTH the amount of toal advance and when it is all in has NOTHING to do with what the engine is in. 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.
