Wait a minute... you're running 36 degrees of total timing on a turbo small block Ford? Something is not right there. That's a lot of timing, even for a natural motor. Unless you're running 120 octane on that thing, there's no way you can be running that kind of timing. You'd kill a head gasket in a hurry (among other things). Even 20 degrees of total advance is pushing it on pump gas with a turbo. Hell, I ran 24 degrees total advance on 118 octane on my 1000hp turbo Lightning, and mod motors have WAY better head sealing than SBFs do. Typical SBF turbo timing is in the 14-18 degree total advance area for pump gas.
