Nice

So, the stock pump with stock engine is ~24° before tdc but you put 10° after tdc with that very nice custom pump like the om 60× series?

[@BenzInjection]

Correct. That way all pumps we sell at benzinjection.com are all 10' ATDC.

[@valparaisosting]

​@@BenzInjectionbut that's because the amount of deliver fuel or because of the pump internally?

[@bobvancalcar9090]

Nice experiment. Why is 10 deg. precisely the right timing?

[@BenzInjection]

Because we put a custom mark on the cam weights to where you set the engine at 10 ATDC, instead of using the mark on the cam gear teeth.
