I am going to be thread thief, but Adam D is also working on some of the same things I am considering, he just posted a WTB 1.9 rockers.
I'm running a 3.4 pulley w/ intake, pulley, AL104s, 180* tstat and working on a tune. I know it's January and things will change some when it warms up outside. I've got a buddy helping me with the tune and right now I've cut timing to 12* and am still seeing 2* of KR on 91 octane, can't find 93 around here.
So, buddy and I are discussing ways to get rid of that KR. He is trying to push me to buy injectors and run E85; I don't really want to run E85 due to being limited as to where I can buy fuel. I am considering looking for 1.9 rockers and going that direction instead; buddy says rockers basically reduce boost slightly there by allowing me to run more timing knock free.
Any thoughts ladies and gentlemen?
