Yeah, 12.8 seemed slow to me too especially with a direct port kit.
Also did anyone else notice the install where they grounded the solenoids through the MSD window switch?? (as opposed to grounding the relay)

So, I also wonder about 12.85 with a 125 shot, what's up with that? Was this a NX kit, if so, I am starting to wonder about these NX kits?
Are the Jan rags on the news stand yet? I couldn't find one a couple days ago.

It was a ZEX direct port kit.

Show us the Timing Slip.

And got this:
Sure, I'll get an image to you next week.
Later,

Maybe we'll get the low down...reaction, 60' 1/8th etc...maybe it will shed some light. Give Rick some credit...he's a busy guy, but remains helpful!!
