I would say (from what I've read) you could go +5 safely. Although with those big 2ndaries probably more. Aren't you running mega-rich when they come on? Or is your porting aggressive enough to use them? I thought the stock 460s were good for something like 220HP. If you had a safc or similar, then you could trim it back down. Getting into trailing split looks like a can O worms. Oh, you're going to have to run high-test fuel too. With the price of gas here lately on the #@!*'g rise that's gonna hurt.



Cheers

your telling me.....! I just filled up my gas tank today and it came out to 33 $$$$$$

what the hell is that all about???



well about runnin rich yeah it is running pretty damn rich right now and im waiting to get some money to get a safc which will help out a lot but yet i dont have the money for that just yet



and you dont think that 5 degrees or a lil more might be too much??



i dont really know so correct me if im wrong but that sounds like a lot

i guess im just gonna have to play with it
