Smarty TNT Timing setting for my mods

I am running timing 3 on the smarty with sw7. I have been running this setting all along. When I made my last dyno run (649hp) it was on sw9 timing 3 with water meth. I know some of you guys run timing 4 and say it spools the turbo better and nets a tad more HP. What do you think it will do for me? I was thinking it may help because I am running 90's and water meth. since water meth adds timing when on, I am affraid timing 3 may be too much timing during activation. Would timing 4 be ok for everyday driving. Is it ok for my size injectors? What do you guys think, what are your thoughts for timing settings for my mods?

You do realize that on the TNT that 4 is less timing than 3, right?

Right, so wouldn't take some rattle away and help with more fuel down low to increase spool up? Then help with the meth when its on, since meth adds timing thus not over timing while on 3? Am I right......... If not explaine please

timing 4 will prob net you slightly higher egt and a little less economy, but all trucks varry.... it cant hurt any thing to try.

im thinking I screwed up on setting my timing last time I got on the dyno I think I only set it on lvl 1 maybe thats where the lower numbers came from im still learning the settings also. I did turn the rail pressure all the way up and it seems to run well

OK. It's just when you asked is 4 would be ok for everyday driving and if it would be ok with your injectors, it sounded like you were worried about it being too much timing.

Nope, I knew its less timing. Just wanted to make sure that less timing would be ok for my mods, ie injectors and turbos...... Thanks guys
