Interesting reading. Haven't heard Duntov's name in over 13 years.

Scott,
Advance only nets you gains to a point in a blower motor, assuming you
have thrown enough I/C, race gas or water-alcohol at the setup to
control detonation. There isn't a whole lot left on the table above 24
degrees and this has been proven time and again(Ford, Chebby, Dodge, the
principle is all the same). The point of the post was to get people to
realize that N/A timing and S/C timing are two entirely different
animals. Shooting for 30-32 total on a blower motor is a waste of time.
What did you walk away with for total advance from The Dyno Shop tune?
For anyone wanting some reading on this stuff, Zora Duntov wrote a good
article thats online. Talks about flame speed in forced indution and how
it relates to timing, negative/net torque etc and includes a nice graph
explaining peak cylinder pressure. Explains it all far better than I
can:
