I get better economy as well. Maybe 2 mpg more (on my truck).

more hp with current fuel ShoulD = more fuel economy.

Would doing this be good for towing? Also I've read that when you advance your static timing it gives false egt readings. Would this have the same effect on your egt readings? I'm mainly thinking about towing.

Thanks

Yes and no. i would have to say it would give you a true lower EGT reading. The problem is that youre letting the fuel burn longer in the cylinder/piston so the heat is left in there and not let out of the exhaust. I think it would be good for towing because youd get a more efficient burn and make more power but you would want to watch your water temps and if they started to change when you were towing up steep grades. that would tell you that your cylinder temps are getting hot.

I asked alwaysworking this through email and this was his response,
"One of are tucks has ben runing a Dynamic timing for quite a while know with no trouble.
We just in stalled a Dynamic timing on a truck on saturday and he had 35" tiers and auto trans . He came back from a test drive with A big smile.
Let us know if we can help more."
BTW I plan on going with one of these and my truck doesn't do much more the tow. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the feed back. If I get one of those maybe I'll just reduce my max egt temp to 1150 just to be safe.

i just ordered me one!! after hearing all the good things about it here and over on dieselbombers, i'm anxious to see how it'll perform for me. i'd much prefer to keep the static timing stock giving me the low end grunt these VE's have and getting better top end timing from the spacer. thanks thomas!

so does anybody know HOW MUCH timing this device actually gives you??? I haven't been able to find out how much travel the KSB gives vs. how much timing it gives.

no one has been able to help me convert the extra MM in travel to timing in degress, but you go from 2.0mm of dynamic timing travel to 6.4mm.

From what I've read, a tooth is equivalent to an 1/8". 72 teeth on the pump gear, so 1/8" = 10°. I just checked online and 2.4mm = 1/8", (well, not EXACTLY but pretty darned close.) Therefore, 2.4mm = 10° timing. Confused yet?!

Thomas, (and everyone else), according to my not-very-researched calculations, this is a fair ballpark of what timing advance is. If 2.4mm = 10*, then 6.4mm = 26.6'*. However I just read your post here, and you say your timng advance product goes from 2.0mm to 6.4mm advance, so it's actually starting off at 7.6* advance, (give or take a few.)

Ok, let me condense 'cause this is getting hard to follow.

Your dynamic timing device is going to give users from 8* at 2mm to 27* at 6.4mm advance. (please note: numbers are rounded out.)


If you want/need more than that, you can push your pump as far as you want to the head, with every 1/8" / 2.4mm giving you another 10*.
