TIMING help please!
Ok, I've been messin with my timing, and I can't seem to dial it in... Engine specs are in the sig. With the Pro billet distributor I can change how much advance its getting from 16*-28* (then add my initial timing of 8*-12*) for my full advance. How much full advance should I be running for my setup? Also, when should my full advance be occuring? My cam is rated from 2500-6000 RPM.
With the 2.73's in the rear I still pulled on a C5 with an x-pipe, headers w/no cats and intake until 65-70 then he caught me and started inching away... can't wait to get the EFI, 3" duals w/x-pipe, D44 w/3.73's, and and actual dyno tune!!
Also, how much HP at the wheels do you think i've got right now and how much potential hp does my setup have?
Thanks!
