alright first off, which way do you guys have your mass air meter facing. up, away from engine or toward engine. i have heard this can make a bit of a difference. also what antifreeze are you guys using in aluminum heads. i have just been using 50/50 green stuff but my friend was reading the ase cert. book and he said i should possibly think about using the all mixable stuff. any suggestions

1. The direction of the Mass Air meter shouldn't make a difference as long as it isn't on there backwards and even then I am not sure if it matters.

2. I would just stick with the regular antifreeze that you are using. If it aint broke don't fix it.

3. Stock timing

4 Capital letters at the beginning of sentences make it easier to read and distinguish between sentences and questions.

DO NOT use anything but green antifreeze. ASE book is not real world, it's just a study book.

Set your timing to 10 (factory). You can bump it to 12 and drive up a hill in high gear (bogg it down). If you don't hear any pinging then you can bump it up again. Don't go above 16.

I would keep it between 10 and 13 personally.

Good Luck!
