Cool TBI timing

After doing abunch a mods like true duals, tbi spacers,rv cam and open K&N air cleaner. I felt that there was something still not right. The motor felt like it was not running on all eight and it would want to stall the first couple miles down the road. Anyways, I advanced the timing from 0 to 4 and what a differance. Now it runs smooth and alot more power. Just something you TBI's guys might want to try.

Nah, you should switch to a carb setup. You have the better heads now because of the TBI... put em to good use. Get the edelbrock intake and you'll prolly make loads more power. Well... not loads, but more

I really want my vortecs now, 330hp here I come.

Its a 88 sub. No vortecs on it. I'm not going to do anything else to it. It's getting sold when the dually is done.
