i wanted to get mine retimed.
if i went up to 16* would it lower egts?
wats the advantage

It helps on the top end, while you will lose a little on the low end and yes it can help a little with egt's.

the shop i went to put mine up to 17.5 and said it will be fine, but that i will eventually need new studs and heads

so when i have it set at 16 thats a safe bet wont have to worry bout any thing? how will it drive compare to stock?

Ya, i want to know this as well i am going to get mine done. i think 16* is the way to go but i dont know for sure:w2:

im going to do mine 16*

most engine builders recomend about 16.5* on there daily drivers with mild mods. only reason i went with 18.5 is because of my head work and studs

ok sweet. so will it run smoother wat is the first thing you notice after you set it to 16?

ok hell it will be so much smoother. before i did mine. in 5th gear at 40 mph my ass end would buck like hell. after i advanced it to 18.5* at 35mph in 5th its as smooth as a babys ass
