You'll need to translate your timing into 'gearhead english'!
Or give me a link to how you set it.

As for a spring you'll need to experiment. Go stronger first.

The carbed LS engines use a programmable timing box that uses a graph table to set total timing instead of initial and advance settings that adjusted with springs and weights like distributors. That means typical "gearhead English" doesn't apply. lol When I first started learning to set and adjust timing curves on mine, I felt like a....well....you know the old term about a monkey and football.
