I have an 89 stang 5.0, cobra upper/lower, 65mm tbody, bbk fenderwell mount cold air, ford E-303 cam, what should i have my timing set at?
because i just got this ads performance chip and the guy said to set the timing to 17 degrees for the chip but i have the cam so im askin u guys what should i set the timing at with my cam ?

also would a 160 thermostat be bad for my car? i have a cobra radiator, and flex fan? and a/c elimn.

 

Try posting in the 5.0 section, I think you'll have better luck there. Good luck

 

YEAH!

 

I'd say with the cam, keep it back to about 15 or 14 because of the cam, 17 would definately get some pinging. 160 degree thermostat wouldnt necessarily be a detriment, but really not needed.
