start at 31 degrees total timing then make a pass.step up to 33 degrees make a pass.if it went faster add more../...its really what ever makes your car run the fastest with the least amount of timing in her is goal

Whoops, didnt see the timing question.

I run 40 TT in my 13-1 cast iron headed 496 bbc, every combo different.

I agree with russ, start out low (around 33/35) and gradually work your way up.

Goodluck, Cp
