The blower pulley setup is a 38 upper / 34 lower; this is an 11% under drive as indicated by the Holley chart. The engine compression ratio is 9.0:1.

Are you saying to lock out the timing? I have been told this will result in poor driveability under normal driving conditions,...is this true?

For fuel I am running the factory mechanical fuel pump; I do not yet have a mechanical fuel pressure gauge, but I am looking to install one this weekend (don't know exact fuel pressure).
