SU performance tuning... 1800

Full advance should be in at around 3000 rpm. The timing should be around 30 - 32 for best power, but this is something that you should try on the dyno.

Max advance at 3000 rpm is about what al internal combustion engines seem to like. Why? I'd think you need more advance then that at 4000, and more at 5000 and even more at 6000. rpm increases, but burn rate does not (linear). So you would need to compensate for that by still increasing timing after the 3000 rpm imo. Why is this not the case? What do I not see? I've been wondering about this quite a while, but have not been able to come up with an answer yet.

cheers, ben
