we will try the advance at 34 and see if that helps. the recommendation from fast, precision turbo and the dyno guru says timing up to 36d. no reason to run it at max recommended. thanks i'll keep posting. incidentally just a note about timing. i am using an msd distributor recommended for this engine. we ran it on the dyno and everything was great. i got about 5 miles and the tune went to sh**. i got home barely and opened the hood. you talk about hot. let it cool down and started the engine and watched he distributor spin about 6d. put the light on it and the laptop both are reading less than 10d. the distributor shaft was bottoming out. even though the distributor was the correct model the shaft was 60 thousandth too long. a friend has a precision machine shop and he made up several shims for me. the only other choice was to remove that 60ths from the distributor shaft. all of this work is not an easy undertaking for the average joe just looking to have fun with a high performance home built. you know if we spent the right amount of time thanking everyone for their time and help we wouldn't have any time left for driving these addictions.

thanks again
