[B]Me:[/B] "No. I am advocating setting timing for best power or best powerband, like always. I'm just saying that the timing you chose may be more advanced with slow burn oils, or more retarded with fast burn oils, but the method of selecting the timing doesn't change. Also you may want to prefer fast burn oils for high RPM engines, and slow burn oils for low RPM engines." [B]Skeptic:[/B] "You can't test without a dyno!" [B]Me:[/B] "Yes you can. If your uphill angle matches your engine power so that you never top out the RPM then higher power will always result in higher speed & RPM. No motorcycle engineer will disagree with that. Different ignition timing results in different power. I'm not trying to know the exact horsepower, just the timing that matches the oil for the best power. And I can most definitely do uphill testing for this purpose." [/QUOTE]
