First time since I have owned my stang, I had her at the shop. Took a light to it and found the timing was only set a 8*. Bumped it to 14*, took it out, I couldn't believe the difference. My Chevy's never took so kindly to a bump in timing that I could feel like that. Only thing is, it sounded like a shaking piggy bank under the hood. So, we experimented until the detonation was gone, and could only go to a max of 10.5*. Still a noticable difference, but not whee i want to set it at. We were thinking I may just need to clean the TB out, maybe the EGR, probably carboned up or something, then try to advance it again. What do you guys think?
