What 60'? Id think you should be in the 10s, but you right in the ballpark.

With a 1.58 60' that does not sound bad at all.

Timing will for sure affect ET and will also affect your tune and A/F ratios. Tune for the highest MPH.

Also what was the air like and your altitude? 11.13@121.8 is a nice run but if your tune is off 1/10 is not a lot to gain.

Regards,
Bruce

I think you have some 10s in there for sure too.

I would make this upgrade immediately. You need to be able to have complete control over your ignition. There is surely some ET in the timing.

Back the timing down to 28-30 and work on the 60' and you'll be solidly in the 10's.
