How do you adjust the timing on a 4.6?????

I know I can buy the Steeda pullies, with the timing adjuster on it. But is there another way?
Thanks

How much will the HP increase with steeda pullies and an x-pipe w/cats? Also what's the best timing setting you 4.6 guys have seen...12 deg? With these mods you should see 10 to 15hp right?

Well, I'm going to be putting my steeda timing adjuster in on Friday, and I plan on setting it at 14 degrees. I think that will be about right.

I Have mine set at 14* but all cars are different. Experiment. 15* make accelerates a bit more but you get the best I think at 14* where mine is set at.
