Message	So here is the dyno from last week that compares before adjustments were done and after Greg Dupree adjusted my SAFC II and timing. The timing of the 001 run was stock 14 degrees, while the 005 was 19 degrees. Both at the same boost setting, 21.6 PSI. To get the advanced timing Greg and Seb had to pull the spark plugs and close the gap to .035" which also revealed I had NA plugs instead of the "b" plugs. Nice. So just a little tunning session can give you some decent increase. In my case 61 RWHP and 21 ft-lbs torque.
