I heard that Lycoming revised the approved timing of 8.7 compression spread-valve IO-360's from 25 to 20 because of the detonation margin with that engine (but for 90 octane or 100? I'm not sure). If you use fixed-timing mags would it make sense to retard the timing a little? Actually, I would think that if you run either full rich or LOP you are probably okay. But that's just a guess without knowing the actual detonation margin. Interesting question, though, as I plan to run a IO-540 parallel valve with 10:1 compression. Gary Casey
