Sal,

Trying to absorb the Carrera timing maps.... the Euro vs US difference is, +0.8 compression, no cat and 2 or 3 RON higher fuel spec ? The fuel specs in the owners manual and spec book don't seem to agree, was there a different fuel spec ? They both wind up with 26 BTDC max which is knock limited or detuned to me, based on dyno tests of water cooled, hemi headed engines with similar VIA's. I'm sure these engines would continue to make higher output on higher octane or alcohol based fuels out into the mid 30's BTDC.

My point was that at a 65 mph cruise in 5th, that map (big hump) is pulling timing out when you open the throttle to accelerate.
