ok when i took my car to the shop to get my 4.10's put in when i came to pick it up he said that my car was pinging at 4000rpm so the guy uped my timing and told me that i had to use 93octane well that $HIT costs a lot of money (well to much money for me right now).
Any ways if i bring my timing back down to stock what should it be at? and about how much power will i lose?
Oh my friend put his new edlebrock 5.0 intake on and said that he had to bump up his timing for the intake to show any power gains is this true for his intake or any intake?
Can i run 13.7's on 87octane or not cause thats my goal if i have to keep my timing bumped up to get those times than i will.
