I set my timing to 12 and it seems to want more. What did you run timing wise with your tfs 1 cam?

I had it at 18, and it still didn't spark knock, lost some top end, so now I have it at 14, and it really isn't tuned, but it really hauls.

Well heres the deal. At 12 degrees it runs good untill you get up to around 4k rpm's and then it starts studdering and missing. I am wondering if its the distributer.
I bought an accel billetech dizzy off ebay. I put a new moduel and cap and rotor on it. This has me stumped.
I just put the new motor in and it runs fine except for this.
