ECT timing pulls and power loss
The DME starts to pull timing at 110* charge air temps and at around 150* there is -6 degrees of timing. With the less dense hot air and 6 degrees less timing about what does that equate to at 15psi in loss of HP?
Just wondering because I installed the Wagner FMIC today (breeze install of about 30 min) and after numerous pulls to get it heat soaked the last few pulls were around 116* max and ambient was 81*. It was pulling -3 degrees globally so there was still some loss of power but not nearly the same as stock. Temps would return to +20 ambient a few seconds after the pulls. T |

So what are you trying to ask, if high IAT's can cause loss of power? Because yes it can, and I managed to heatsoak my Helix intercooler only while waiting in line to stage and drag race at the track. I lost about 2-3mph off my trap speed that day compared to a different day where I didn't have to wait for so long, so yeah maybe 20-30hp..

I know there is loss, I was just wondering the amount. 3 degrees of timing seems like it would make a huge difference. T |
