hello, i have a 1997 mustang just installed livernois cams, pi heads, pi intake, long tubes, 3.73 gear, my question is what degree should the timing be set on these mod motors, right now it is at 0, i think i can pull more power from the motor with advancing the timing a little. the car pulls awsome now, very suprising compared to stock, any help would be appreicated, thanks:SNSign:

Are you using a handheld tuner? If so I'd go with about 7-8 degress and see how it ran. If you get detonation, back it down a degree. If you have no issues bump it up a bit. It's just trial and error really.
