Default Got my H pipe on and played with timing

I got my car up on the lift today and put on my new H pipe. After that i played with the timing a bit and it runs alot smoother now. I think saturday i'ma go back over and put some spacers on my harmonic balancer so all the pulleys line up. I read the directions that came with the balancer and they included a spacer and such, so it should be good to go. I couldnt drive it though cuz we got hammered with snow really hard, and i dont have a belt on cuz my pulley issue not linin up. I also discovered that i had a catted BBK H pipe on there before, i had no idea, but it was for long tubes, which i took off and put shorties on. So anyone interested in a BBK cated H pipe for long tubes send me a PM. Its for a 94-95.

So i should set my fuel pressure to about 40 psi with the vacuum off ? I'm gonna try to get her runnin as smooth as possible without the tuner. If all goes good i should have it out next week.

Awesome dude, i wish i could work on my car on a lift. I think 40psi should be good, I think I set mine at 38psi.

Stock is 42 psi with the vacuum disconnected, make sure to reconnect it after you're done.
