I need to know if a compucar 125 wet shot will push my stock bottom end too far?

my setup:

stock 302 W/flat pistons
edelbrock performer heads

edelbrock upr/lwr intake
bbk 70mm TB/EGR
bbk long tubes
bbk shorty H

pullies
msd 6a
msd coil
Timing @ 14deg
adjustable fpr
stock 19# injectors
stock fuel pump
no smog/ac

13.5lb fidanza flywheel
kingcobra clutch
aluminum drivelive
3.55 gears
street tires

so far with this setup minus a good clutch and new lightweight flywheel, I ran a 12.9@109 w/1.9 60'

what timing/fuel pressure/octane should i use? and any other tuning i may have missed.

[patriot] thanks for any suggestions
Mike,

Get a better fuel pump and knock some timing down I go 2degrees for every 50-75hp.

Go smaller gap (32-38) with one heat range colder on the plugs.

Dont touch the fuel pressure over what it is at running optimum N/A.

Should be good, it's a wet shot.

Oh YEAH! it was nice. I put timing at 8deg and hit it with the bottle at around 700 of 1000 psi. when I hit full throttle it was like my 3.55's turned into 4.10's or better. It feels like I just threw some serious boost on it. Now it's time to take this thing to test n tune on saturday.
