    2.5 drag timing

    Can someone tell me how many thousands before top dead center 25 degrees is. I can't remember. It would be nice to not have to get out a degree wheel and figure it out myself.

    I saw a pic of one someone is making for the 2.5L flywheels. It is a magnetic round with all the timing marks on it for each cylinder. Looked badass. It was motor specific though.

    I've read 25°, but I've also read where some of the drag guys won't say. I would guess they are closer to 30°.

    Makes perfect sense.
    How nice would it be to hit a button for a different tune!

    Buckshot racing...thats it!
    That wheel makes me wonder if they did it right or not. Is each cylinder TDC accurate or did they take #1 and then just cut the whole 360 deg. evenly into 6 pieces? Cause the crank journals are staggered slightly this wheel could not be accurate or it could be. I hope they took the time and did it right so each cylinder is timed accurately. Its a nice piece.
