It happened when I sold the car to Jim. Took it to Cecil County Went to the line, The car left like a garbage truck. I knew what the problem was but the look on Jims face was priceless I knew he was thinking what did I come up here for? Loosened it up, ran the expected number. And the car was on it's way to Fla.

If I were you I'd look for some heat resistant preoiled bushing And install that.
It seems to be the leaded gas that does it Jimmy Malone hasn't had it happen to him that I know of and he uses the VP unleaded.
I suspected the leaded fuel might have something to do with it.

How did you free them up?

The legality of that seems a little gray to me, so I think I'll stay away from them until it's more black and white.

I suppose all of this applies to FWD cars where traction is a problem.
You won't melt stuff if you retard the timing appropriately.
Why not use an MSD Boost control?

Mark I can show you 20 turbo dodges with stock type ECU's that slowed up a bunch with the MSD unit.
If you retard timing you actually raise EGT I know it doesn't make sense. But I've been there done that.

Unplug the knock sensor it will be more consistant.or the ecu will hear noise and retard the timing a bunch.would love to check out a 2.3 turbo stocker.
