how come nobody said anything about a chip redux via a hypertech or superchips programmer? sure it's a few bucks more but lots of bang for the buck!

hey JD, advanced timing means higher octane gas, no? Just curious what octane you run being advanced 16 degrees? Do you know what stock timing is off hand...does it differ, mine being a pre-'99 stang?

I would go an intake plenum and TB. I don't long tubes would show enough of a gain for the money, since you have no forced induction. Just my .02

Get the C&L Maf kit and true flow inlet pipe. Underdrive pullies are also good to free up some ponies. Also a TB/Plenum swap might help ya!

JD...timing advanced to 16 degrees!!!??? Risking detonation there, pal!

Nope.. On the '02's and up you can only run 14 degrees advanced. The '00 and below can run 16 degrees advanced because of the compression ration difference. '01s and up have 9.4 to 1 and '00 and below have 9.0 to 1.

I was told the stock timing for a '02 was 10 degrees if im not mistaken. Im not sure what it is for 00 and below.
