I am assuming you know how to reset your timing, marking the balancer and removing/re-installing the SPOUT connector and such. Bone stock I would set it at 13 degrees and try it out, a common mistake is advancing too much, then you get driveability problems and so forth. Have you removed the air silencer, or got a K&N yet? Have you set your TPS to .98 volts, just wondering, there are lots of FREE mods available.
