Optium Timing?
I've got a #10 plate centered +, 3gsk, custom EDM stock plus injectors, 4" exhaust, and PDR HX35.
The truck runs good after it warms up---but I'm thinking my timing has slipped or isn't where it should be. It doesn't want to start right away even in 50* weather.
SOOOOOOOOOOOO my question is at 6000 ft in elevation what is the optium timing? I was thinking 17.5 to 18*
Any thoughts? Infidel?

More like 16 to play it safe. If your timing has slipped, then 16 will feel a heck of allot better. I would start at 16 and leave it alone for awhile.
If you really want to spend some time with it, then start at 16, and try different settings. It will take time but you could move the settings around to see what gives you best mileage/performance/driveability.
The higher the timing, then the less you will have in bottom end, but the more you will have in top end. Need to find out what works best for you.

I live in Sedalia Colorado, 20 miles south of Denver, 8 miles west of Castle Rock in the foot hills, aprox 6000 ft in elevation.

Given your use of the truck and the fact that you are at elevation I presonally would not go any higher than 16 degrees. Maybe even a little less depending on how much fuel your injectors are pushing.

I was also told this by a very wise mechanic that has built several famous pull trucks.

Has anyone reading this advanced their timing this high? Any problems?
