you guys are making me feel bad about my flowmasters on my car,i have the loudest ones,whatever they are50s 30s i dont know but the muffler shop said it was their loudest straight thru version.i got them many years ago when flowmasters were cool,because some of these newer mufflers was not out yet

you could also add that at different rpms your engine will move around more or shake more or less

i failed to mention that i run half 110 leaded and half 90 no ethanol and im around 11 to 1 compression,could that be why i thought i needed more timing

just got back in the house after running my engine for a bit.im going the right direction.with the 21 bushing in 14 int and 35 total and the lite springs in,it sounded way crisper when revving.im going to drive it and see how it does before i try the 18 black bushing.BRENT i replied before i read you post.i will put the black one in and make sure its not over 34 when i try it

i just put the blue one in its 21 degree adv.on a 428 are you sure 32 total is enough.i can take it back out and put the 18 in but i would have to set int timing on 14,is that ok.if im guessing right its not as much the bore and stroke as it is the heads when figuring timing.i going back out to the garage and taking the dist back out.i will put the black bushing in,lite blue springs.it will be 14 int 32 total,if i have to add a couple int,it will still just be 34 total.where is the save zone31-38?i just dont want to mess up a new engine by having the timing off bad
