Any suggestions on what timing and fuel pressure I should run? Im leaning toward +8* and 38 lbs. Does this sound reasonable? See mods below (engine should be complete and running by Friday )

I could be wrong , but I think you should run more like 48-50 psi with the blower on there. And you can start your timing at 8* then increase it from there. I'm running 10* and ~50 psi and I have not had any detonation.

Was going to ask you if you ran an FMU, but I see in your sig that you do. Thanks for the tip Sleepy.
