Unless you have a timing adjuster or handheld/chip...you can't change the timing. Plugs should be 1 range colder (autolite 103s or similar) and gapped at .035. I hope it's a wet kit...

Stock gap is .054. The last thing you'd want is not enough spark on those stock pistons. Obviously though, it's your call. Good luck!

That's called a Toyota Tercel, circa 1993. A beater that's for everyday use. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

if its your only car is it really worth blowing up the motor to go a little bit faster in the 1/4

Yes. Mostly everything we do is in fact to make our cars go faster. But you really have to take into account that not everybody uses nitrous. Even though you're going to be using this every so often, you really have to consider what kind of beating its going to do to your engine. Plus like you said, this is the ONLY car you have. One of my friends here on this site used nitrous only at the track every here and there and had lost compression in cyl. 7 and 8 with his modular.
So honestly IMO, I would start looking for a beater car if you're serious about doing it.
Good Luck to ya!! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
