dajogejr Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I'm looking at the Ricky Stator timing plate...for $35 plus shipping, it's a steal. Now...I'm thinking of +3 or +4 timing. Does this hurt low end...if so, how much. I'm sure I can appreciate what it'll do for upper revs...but, I plan on trailing a bit..so, don't want to kill the bottom. Thanks...

Thanks... 357157[/snapback] Won't hurt your bottom at all I just put one on my bike and LOVE it...well worth the 35 bucks IMO...I set mine at 4 deg. and it works great on the trail. Hope that helps.

dajogejr Posted April 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 That is exactly the answer I was looking for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BdBanshee Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 You will actually gain some low end power with the timing advance. Great for trails or anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowboyBanshee Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 With mine set at plus four I gained bottom end and it pulls a lot harder to get to the powerband.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Thank you kind sirs. Gonna have to order mine up. Why would anyone pay 80 plus bucks for a billet, polished one when you can get this for less than half? Not like you can even see it... Beauty...I've got the top I want. Gonna test out some rockets hopefully soon, but I'm very happy with my T5's thus far. I'm just trying to make it a little smoother low to mid... After bolting on some VForce Reeds and a Noss w/ 21cc's...I think I might be done this year until I scrape a little extra cash for a good port job.

slowpokebanshee Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I run +8 with no problems, I do run octane boost though with a shaved head (.030") w/out the octane boost, i experienced mild detonation, on some larger hills at Glamis, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 (edited) Unless I buy another quad....for racing only, I fully plan on running pump gas only. 92 to 94 octane and race gas is readily available here....but, when I take trips up north...race gas isn't as widely available... Premixing is enough, don't feel like running race gas and/or octane booster as well. From everything I've read, Noss w/ 21 cc and +4 should run on good premium pump all day long.
