    One more Newbie question: Headers & timing

    FWIW, one should be running premium gas if advancing timing. Seen many people want to bump timing but still use regular 87 octane.

    yes you will have an improved take off..not sure how noticeable. Stick with what you have until combo is all together and then swap gears if needed. No since in spending money if its not needed right now

    Noticeable Difference between 3.55s and 3.73s?

    transmission gear ratios follow the same premise as ring and pinion ratios. In other words, the .68 is like 3.55 and .82 is like 3.73 for an example. Hope that helps you understand.

    PMS Question - Is a VC breather better than a line back to the intake?

    That is correct. But with regards to the "unmetered" air scenario making for a lean condition when using the stock pcv setup and breather (when in vacuum), WOT wouldn't be an issue because at that point the pcv valve is shut, therefore can no longer pull in any unmetered air from the valve cover...

    I have a similar problem. Left signal works fine, right signal blinks fast, and hazards do not work at all. I suppose I should look at the multifunction switch as well.
