[QUOTE="MarcSpaz, post: 15743404, member: 183445"] I have tuned cars ranging from vacuum advanced distributor cars from the 60's all the way up to my last S197. You MUST change the timing as the RPM's change or you are seriously screwing yourself... and may even cause the engine to fail to run due to flooding or breaking parts (depending on what you "lock" timing at). Fuel burns at a specific rate regardless of the RPM's. The higher the RPM, the earlier you have to start burning the fuel so the fuel burns at the proper time. Think of it like meeting a friend at the mall. Lets say you and your friend both live 5 miles away from the mall. Lets assume you can both walk 5 mph. If you want to get there at the exact same time, you can leave at the same time Well, if your friend decides to drive his car, and you are stuck walking at 5 mph, the faster he drives, the earlier you need to leave compared to your friend so you both get there at the same time. Make sense? [/QUOTE]
