Really need help with timing???

about the intake, if adding a new intake is all you do than your not going to notice much difference regardless of timing. the cylinder heads are the real bottleneck of the mustang engine. you would notice the difference if you added an intake and already had good heads.
asking about timing is like asking about what color you prefer on here. everyone will have an opinion. i think MUSTNUT said it pretty well, although i wouldnt personally want 'any' pinging in mine. his advice is the general conception of how to check/set it though. bump it a little, rev it out in second and see if it pings. most people get it as high as they can w\o ping and then set it there. 14 should be a good round # though if you just want to set it and be done with it.
not to be a dick, but if you cant afford 92 octane, you probably shouldnt be driving a mustang for performance. and with the current economy recession, i doubt you will see prices get better any time soon.
