But I wasnt driving it that long. What the best way to get it to run cooler. Im gonna check the timing here later tonight once it cools down.
All I know is it feels slugish & doesnt pull very hard past 3500 rpms. Just feels like something is holding it back.
I have a Alum DS im gonna put on it to help smooth it out in the upper RPMS. But right now it feels like a SnailGOD BLESS TEXAS

OK went & set the timing. Timing was at 0 degrees with the Spout connecter off & when I put it back on it jumped up over 10 degrees in. Do I need to set Base Timing at 10 degrees with Spout connecter out? Which puts it over 20 degrees with it in.
Also pulled the BBK Cold Air Intake off & put the stock Rubber Elbow back on. I did notice alot of oil built up on the firewall side of my TB when I pulled the Fender Well kit off.
Also which is a better Cold Air

Pull off the cap and rotate the engine to tdc and look at the rotor. If its truely at 0 degrees then the rotor will be pointing directly at #1.. If yes then put the cap back on, pull the spout and set to 12 degrees. If detonation still persists then pull the ECM and look for a chip. If you find one then disconnect the battery and remove it. Nothing wrong with a cai. Just leave it be. Install a 192 thermostat, make sure the fan clutch is working. Report back.
