would advancing my timing give me more power out of my 5.2 I have a superchip tuner, dual exhaust

 

You cannot adjust/advance/retard the timing on your engine thru the distributor. The PCM controls timing for you now so you have to either buy the software to be able to adjust your timing yourself OR buy a tuner from someone like Hemifever on the forum here. He can write you a tune that will add or subtract timing, fuel pulse and so on.
It ain't like your old points & carb SBC.
Turning the distributor now will change your fuel sync and then you'll have to take it to a Dodge dealer to have it reset or buy a scanner that will read it and set it yourself.

 

You could do a camshaft upgrade

 

I have a tuner that I can move the timing with

 

Advancing the ignition timing will give more power to an extent. If you can do it with the Superchips or not I don't know.

There is the "backyard" way. The crank sensor is in the bell housing of the trans. You can remove it, open the hole up and re-install it to advance the timing. You would have to search though as I don't remember which way it needs to move to advance. Basically it'll just send the signal for spark sooner.

 

How about giving us some info on your rig in your sig so we can help you better??

Are you talking about your canned tunes for adjusting your timing or some other way? As I didn't know you could do that with a Superchips.

 

you can also modifiy the crank position sensor, what you do is modify the bolt holes for it and elongate them so you can slide the sensor closer or farther away from the crank and this will in turn adjust the timing. you would have to google the acutual directions.

 

I have a 99 ram 2wd 5.2 with 46re trans 4:55 gears. my mods are superchip, dual exhaust, I have headers just don't have them on. and soon to have 4:56gears

 

The typo made me lol. You can get more power advancing your timing up to the point you get pinging. Then you have to either retard the timing a little or run higher octane fuel.

 

Given these engines are prone to ping.... just advancing the timing is asking for trouble.
