M&H timing spacer

nope, only way to do alot of damage is to run ALOT of timing and lug teh engine down, that will lead to craked pistons. With teh plate bringing in all teh timing higher up in teh RPM range you will be fine as long as you run a conservitave timing setting on teh actual pump.

Thanks, I'm running stock timing. My truck rarely sees over 2100 rpm and when I tow I let it pull down to around 12-1500 rpm being easy on the throttle. Is that lugging it to much? I'm still trying to get over the horror of the 7.3 I had( I still lose sleep over it to this day). Advanced timing on those means 8 pistons, 2 heads+ downtime and labor.

Well when towing a light trailer 4-6k I only see about 1050 max and about 7-10psi driving conservatively. Towing heavy,well unless there's no wind or I have a tailwind,it's 4th gear 2100rpm 1250f , 15-25 psi and its very hard to keep it under 1250f. And play i never see over 1150f and 27psi max.

Also the faster the engine turns the higher egt's get. The only way to stay cool is to keep it between 15-2100rpm.

Will that kill the dark haze at cruise ??
I know it won't help the idle haze, but I'd like to get rid of the 65 mph haze - at 8 psi boost..
Maybe, when I get my VGT installed it will build slightly more boost if I close the gate more but I'm not certain it will flow more CFM ...That's a try and see...
