i was reading some old threads and they got me thinking, which got me reading deeper in to my thoughts. anyways found some cool articles on emissions, and timing vs air fuel ratio though i would share

good article explaing the emission problem

Cool post, esp. the Innovate...I know a guy that worked with them.

Great post. Changes how a lot off us thought about getting more power out of the engine from our cars in the early days of shop class...

now off to adjust the carb and timing again, lol

I agree with them 100%. The whole key to optimal power and still meeting emissions is to find the sweet spot where the fuel mixture and ignition timing are matched up with the engine characteristics. If you think about it, getting the spark too early can actually rob you of power, as the pressure wave will slow the pistons, rather than speed them up. You want it to hit the piston just in time to be pushing it back down the bore, not before it gets to TDC.

Great reads! Thanks for sharing these articles.

glad you guys like them as much as i do. i suck at tuning but i love the topi. i find i crazy how changing a part of one system, spark, timing, fuel mix etc changes everything. i also love how some changes can create false solutions like rich fuel mixes and advanced timing.
