[sm=yikesomg.gif] if the timing is set at 25 degrees initial timing, then ya thats probly the problem, lol. stock is 10 degrees. I run 12 to 14 depending on octane rating. 25 is way to high.

RE: can runs 195 in traffic, headers too hot???

Sdmaker would you say that with the modes to my car, 12 to 14 would be what I should have ? or would you say another setting?- 25 seems high to me too... but I'm not very knowledgable on the timing setting so I can't really say anything against it except that my car now revs alot higher than before. Before I could drive at around 2400 rpm and have pretty good speed, now for the same speed as before i'm at about 3000 rpm... etc etc

Thanks

195 is not hot. when it gets to 200 or 210 turn it off.

not true 220-230 are normal temps for fuel injected car it gives better fuel economy, reduced engine emmisions and decreased engine wear but it will hurt power
