Modded 90 LX vs 98 GT?

[95GTS]

Absolute minimum timing should be 10*. That's what the stock timing is supposed to be. Like 89 Cobra said bump it up to around 14* and drop in some 91 or so octane (what ever you can run without getting detonation). What's your elevation out there in WA? Both of ya'll will gain some better ET with some driving practice. Now 98's car is bone stock right (gears included)? That stock shifter is a pain to race with. Been there, done that. I'd bet he also had around a 2.4-2.3 60 ft.
