I don't really get why people say this....? The 800 is cfm the carb is able to flow, the jets and accelerator pump are what determines gas usage. I got 23 mpg (@55 mph) and my carb flowed between 980-1040 cfm on a 6.0.

Any engine generally makes more torque with advanced timing, within reason. That being said, if the car will hook, Id bring the max # in earlier depending on your stall speed. If you have a looser converter, all in at 1800 is good to go. If you have a stock converter , Id get all the timing in at stall speed.

Im just curious why everyone seems to ramp the timing through the idle RPM? With a carb , it seems like idle quality would suffer because the timing would be searching if the idle fluctuates at all with, say, a big cam or any issue in the idle circuit on the carb.
With the Fast EZ setup on mine, I enabled the idle quality search option and played with a steep rise on the timing curve. It sounds super radical for how mild my cam is. Im just not sure the ramp is a good idea with a carb that doesnt have an ECU to stabilize the idle.
