Default A few basic questions

Most important one first...I'm only running a 75 shot to start, but will go up to 100 or possibly 150 w/ a progressive controller. I live in CA w/ 91 octane gas. With my listed mods do I need to pull timing? and how much?

Just out of curiosity where does everyone have their windows switches and shift lights set? I'm thinking of putting my window switch at 3000-5800 and shifting at 6000.

Thanks guys!

Was timing added when the car was tuned for the cam? Do you know how much it was advanced if it was? The dry shot will pull a degree or two, so depending on how much it was advanced you may not have to pull any on the dry shot.

Its running stock timing. Also, it's a wet shot. Thanks.

I don't know where I got the dry shot from, sorry. Do you have access to a data logger? If you do your best bet might be to start on the 75 shot and watch for KR. If you see any try taking some timing out or adding a splash of higher octane fuel until you don't see any more. Another option might be for a stand alone fuel system.

I use HP Tuners, so logging and changing is no problem. I'm just kind of looking for a safe starting point. Thanks again!
