Whats the max timing to run on evo 8 cams?
Hello my names Dylan, I have a built 2.0L block with wiseco 1400d’s and manely TT rods. The head on the car is stock... Don’t ask why, im getting cams eventually. The car has all bolt ons and and running RC 1000cc injectors (yes I know I need to go bigger) Dw 350Lph fuel pump and a Shearer t3 manifold with a BW SXE-362. Im kinda interested to see what the cars going to be like on stock evo 8 cams even tho it’s gonna be absurdly laggy. Anyways Ive been tuning my own cars for awhile, does anyone know what I should not advance my timing past? Im on e85 and not pump gas but i don’t wanna do anything stupid. Thanks.

OP, ideally you should start at 0,0 and Dyno at Max advance and max retard to see what it does to your power curve. If you're gonna get cams anyway, just get cams and then tune them. Another option is to just look up what cam advance settings people are running with similar setups. This will get you in the ballpark of where you need to be.

Evo 8 doesn't have cam timing maps, he's probably referring to cam gear settings.

The OEM JDM timing map is set up for better fuel then we have so I took inspiration from that when doing my E85 timing.

Cam timing is different from ignition timing. All modern EFI cars have ignition maps. Where you referring to max ignition advance? I read your post as cam timing for Evo 8.
