I'm a Mech E too.. I am a junior also. Statics isnt that hard. Thermo is pretty tough for me. Dynamics, solids, and fluids will not be fun either. but thats next semester
On my dsm, the only way for me to make more power is to advance the timing (im on e85 at 22* peak) lol. My turbo is so maxed out (small 16g over 25psi) I can't run any more boost and im on 7.8:1 compression still. But good thread pete. I do know downsides of this. When I ran maft v1 on an old dsm, it had to be corrected so much for my 650cc injectors that it added a TON of timing. I was running 30* timing advance and over 20 psi on 93. I had no clue that it was advancing it that much and it blew the rings quick. Looking at the log was too late and not soon enough. That is when I said no more piggybacks, dsmlink all the way so I can control timing advance too. I am scared to trick the ecu airflow because it advances alot of timing. Heck my dsm went to 30* peak, that's 0 psi timing advance numbers.

91 3000gt VR4 13gs = 11.61@115 (1.59 60ft)
yup, advancing ignition isn't always a bad thing. when you need to get every drop of energy out, it's a great thing for fuel economy. it's a balance like anything else.
