Default Re: Detonation in my 59AB engine

I agree that that sounds mild, not much more than stock. But I didn't think that it is not lift that effects the compression, but duration. A longer duration would result the intake valve opening earlier causing bleeding off compression resulting in a lower effective combustion ratio.

Or do I have this wrong?
