are you running headers or manifolds. You might want to check waht kind of secondary spring you have.

when I did my carb and cam swap you couldnt tell a differance becasue I had the cfi exhaust manifolds, and crappy exhaust. once I put the headers and cat back on the car opened up and I can tune without detonation. Have checked compression, and timing?
