High planes,
Thanks for the info, I have 11 to 1 custom JE pistons and currently have 38deg total. The car actually runs great with the current set up and I was just considering transfering the settings to the electronic MSD box.

I heard somewhere that you actually want to remove some timing at the high end to increase HP and torque do you know if this is true? So what I was thinking was this:

start @ 10deg (timed)
Initial @ 14 deg
1000rpm to 2800rpm ramp a straight timing curve to 38deg.
6000rmp to 7000rpm curve to 34 deg.

If my compression is at 11 to 1 with aluminum heads I still should be able to pull the 38deg I think, there is currently no pinging or predetonation along the curve. I have noticed that @ 6300ish rpm the HP/Torque starts to curve downward.....
