Thanks Scott... Any updates on the Chevelle?

I have a MSD 6530 in the car which lets me adjust the timing to whatever I want to, the distributor is locked out, timing is set at 32 degrees and distributor locked down. I'll be able to pull timing out if necessary once back in the car.

For dyno purposes it was just flat base timing. Builder says these heads are just so efficient there is no need to chase any more power by adding timing too them, you just open yourself up to trouble if anything goes wrong (bad gas for example). He said there really isn't any reason to back any timing out at low RPMs either, maybe just a start retard that helps with starting but as you can hear in the video, it cranks over and starts real easy while hot with 32 degrees timing. Keep it simple stupid method in play here...
