Putting the bottle to my 03 because im bored with it! Will i have to knock the timing back at all for a 100shot or just run 91? Im throwing some NGK Tr6's in just to be safe.

Yes you will have to retard the timing, you better get a tune as well.

I know a tune isnt necessary for 100& below...i ran it before! The tune would be colder plugs and timing knocked back with 91 octane.

a timing adjuster is only going to adjust your base timing, you will be on borrowed time without a full tune.

Its actually a sct x-cal 2 so it will be global timing not base!

You should be safe with around 16* total timing. I have been running a 125hp shot at 16* for a couple years without trouble.

It has ran a best of 11.54 so far.

My "performance" tune has 18* timing in it. Both tunes are from Mustang Performance Parts & Upgrades by Brenspeed.

13.16 @ 104, IIRC. I'm pretty sure it has a 12.9x in it, just got to drive it! I've trapped as high as 106 NA before, but typically its ~104.

Should'nt be a problem for you with a good launch. Get that 60' time in the 1.7x's or lower and you'll be in the 11's pretty easy.
