Hey guys, its taken me alot longer then I thought it would, but im going to be putting my new motor in the car soon. I have a few questions:
If i set the timing at 5* and keep the spout out, i should have NO worries about detonation correct? Im not running EGR, and i know that that adds additional timing that i cant compensate for. The car will be getting a tune shortly after being completed, so it just has to run until then, and I figured 5* with the spout out should leave me with NO worries. I dont want to blow this motor before I even get it tuned.

Also, im currently running 36#lb injectors with a 255lbh pump. Will these both be adequite for the new setup? (gt40x heads, B cam, crane 1.6 roller rockers, cobra upper/lower, powerdyne 9# blower). I was thinking about just using the 6# pulley again until its tuned, again for safety.

Anyone have any inputs?

im sure you can run it at 10 with the spout out and be worry free .. dont get on the gas much till you tune it .. baby it around

If you have an afpr, crank it up and make it fat!

I would have no comment on running without the spout as I have never tried it so I don't know what would happen.

You can go lower than 5 if it would make you feel more comfortable.

well as far as I know, spout out "locks" the timing in, so it cant be increased. I think it still adds for egr, but thats ok, as long as they BOTH arent being added into the timing. I dont have an afpr, all stock fuel wise except the pump and injectors, I heard that the stock regulator was more accurate, so i decided to keep it and let the tuners play with whatever they play with lol. Thanks for the help guys.
