I have just installed trickflow head, cam intake, 24 injectors, longtubes
right now it has a stock cobra tune and honestly the driveability seems perfect
although ive only driven it up and down the road 3-4 times. No surging, no bucking, nothing.
from 0 to 3krpm it feels real strong, but after 3krpm it feels like a dog
i think its cause the cobra tune has real low timing
what kind of timing does the trickflow kit like?
I unfortunately dont have a wideband right now, but am seriously considering one very soon when $$ is better.

I just did the same setup and started her for the first time a couple hours ago. Iam running 10 degrees timing as per what t/f recommended. Feels pretty solid. I think there is something else wrong buddy. If anything it should feel stronger after 3k. My car is a 93. Did you set your fuel pressure regulator to about 38 psi with vacuum disconnected?

36 total advance ... give or take a few

Aluminum heads can at times want more

You will just have to see what your particular combo likes

Well being that he is going to tune with the tweecer, base timing needs to remain at 10*, and he need to adjust his spark tables to his particular combo, but as grady said above AROUND 36* total.
