It all depends on your set-up and what gas and other crap. If you are just running some iron heads and pretty stock, I would set it at 14deg. -------------------- AKA Franky Freaking 5 liter Advanced Engine Development SCT dealer Dynotuning Engine building 916*275*8212 88 4runner on 42's Posts: 4206 | From: Folsom | Registered: Feb 2002  |  : sic70stang CAFords OG Member # 4347 posted                              bump up the timing to 14.. about the shake does it only do it at idle ? if so i would check for a vac leak -------------------- The anti-crew 1987 rolling safety violation.

As far as the shake check all of your sparkplugwires and all vacume lines. You might even want to do a tuneup. -------------------- RACETUNE 2003 Torch Red Mach 1 Maximum Motorsports Suspension, Exhaust, 4:10's 12.9@105mph 1.88 60ft Posts: 302 | Registered: Jan 2004  |  :
