more boost- retard timing?

0341TODD · Sep 17th, 2004, 06:19 PM

I was just wondering if I should retard my timing a little if Im running more boost..... I know that my engine is lower compression anyways, but I figure with that many miles on it............y'know? I ran 2 degrees less timing in my NX when I had nitrous hooked up to it

Anyone?

Knock sensor will do that for you.

I hear the term "knock" all the time. Is that just a second word for pre-detonation? And if so I assume we have a knock sensor?
