i am not expert to be sure, but the euro 3.0 & 3.2 had higher domed pistons that created the the higher compression. rothsport makes a repro of both euro pistions for new applications, which are legal in the spec class i compete in.. these are considered a "stock" according to the rules. Welcome to Rothsport Racing - Engine Products
are the euro cams or timing different than the US cars, 3.0 & 3.2? |
The point is that Loren is claiming that somehow the chip advance can cause damage to the motor. Since that damage would be the result of pinging, and higher compression motors are more can also suffer damage from pinging, this is where the stock RoW motor and the chip-tuned U.S. motor share some similarities that Loren will not acknowledge.
If there is room on the 3.2 for higher compression, then there is room for more advance. Both explore the safe, reliable envelope of engine operation, without going outside of it. By claiming that advance is detrimental, while ignoring the higher compression motors the RoW got, Loren makes a case for just shutting the hell up.
