Re: timing

Advancing the timing 3 to 4 degrees (9-10 degrees total, stock is 6) would do it some good. My L98 runs at 10 with just about all the mods u listed, and i drive it everyday in the summer. also brought my et's down about .2 . And yea my fuel milage went down some when i did the AFPR also, but so did my times at the wednesday night drags

Re: timing

O yea and maybe you should look into a gear swap also. something like 3:42 or 3:73 (but no more than that) would really make that thing pull on the street
