If you do, all you do is reduce torque and increase peak in-cylinder pressures which in turn increase bearing loads. For any fixed throttle position, the torque vs. spark curve ALWAYS has the basic rise and fall parabolic shape as long as the engine is knock-free on the fuel being run. I have literally run hundreds of tests that show this trend. |
