timing on 2002 gt
 

Hey guys I guess I'm a newbie to fords so I'll get that out of the way now. So far I've installed steeda underdrives,< steeda timing adjuster( today)>, C&L maf, triax w/ hurst t grip, MM strut tower brace and Yokohama 255/45/17. The problem is that I've read everybodies setting on their timing setting, and it's around 14-15. I tried it at 14 and got an intermittent ses light that resett itself. I backed her down to 13 and got a solid ses light, resetthe computer and it's at 12 with no problems. I'm running shell 93 octane in it. I didn't hear any det. 0n 14 degrees and made5 or6 luanches at 3000 rpm, ran first to 5800, and 2nd to 4000 something and let out, never any sound of detonation. And on my way to on14 degrees it started flashing ses. See theres a short strip of asphalt in front of my house that I launched on, but between that and the highway there's 2/3 of a mile on gravel. I drive like 10mph or less on it ,but could the dust from gravel road have temporarily blocked the sensor causing the ses light? Any thoughts or suggestions. I built my 436 hp malibu so I'm not a total idiot, but lack any experience with these mod motors.
P.S. The cars pulls stronger than before, even at 12 degrees:confused:

figured out sigs
 

There's my sigs:D

anyone out there
 

Hey guys, I'll take the Bowtie product off my sig if thats why no one wants to talk. lol

I have my steeda timing adjuster at 13* with no problems. No bucking or pinging. No check engine lights either. be sure that you set the adjuster with the correct side of the hump. You might have it backwards and running on too much deg.

Thanks for the input but I checked that out first. I called steeda about it and asked them if the dust could cloud the timing sensor . They hadn't heard of anything like that and were baffled. I can feel the increase in power but it felt stronger at 13-14 . I just didn't want to f$^% anything up with the ses light on. I'm turning it into a corner carver, twisties are always more fun than straight line. It won't come close to touching my 66 in acceleration, but the heavy chevy takes a curve like a mac truck:)
