Lets discuss a theory of mine

This idea is purely for track/strip purposes only of course. And just a little theory I had

Say once I get my Greddy EU and I can readily play with the timing when I want to... If I were to get a methanol injection system and turned the timing up to 20+ degrees, would that work? More specifically this type of system

How high could I turn the timing up at that point? Would it even be safe?

You cannot say with any degree of certainty exactly how much you would be able to advance your timing. You will need to strap the car to a dyno that has some decent knock monitering equipment and slowly advance your timing. Your car may make less power at 20+ degrees of timing, you cannot put a blanket statement on timing making more power.

I'm just trying to think of something that's not done on a regular basis
