Any time we can help my friend.
Sorry I scared you off, didn't mean to, sometimes I'm just a little too passionate.
Good luck..

Not too passionate, just like things done right and there's nothing wrong with that! On a side note just for curiosity sake I did back off the timing and took it for a ride, It couldn't get out of it's own way.

That's OK, because now with the total timing down in the safe zone you can put the lighter springs in the distributor to bring the total timing in quicker, which will help until you can get the distributor stops installed and the carb sorted out.

Did it surging go away at WOT?

No it did not, it was far far worse. I got the go ahead to spend the money for Sniper from the wife, but to do it correctly in the way that I want, I would be in at about 1,800 bucks conservatively. I'm having a hard time hitting the buy it now button. I asked about the sniper on a trans am page I belong to and anybody who has it loves it, but there was a guy who mentioned the Street Demon carburetor from Holley that he absolutely loves. I have done much much Google searching and YouTube searching and I have yet to find someone who does not love it. I can pick one of them up for $363 so I'll probably be in it right around 425 when it's all said and done. It's not that I'm against spending extra if I have to, but I don't know if I really have to.

I'm a real glutton for punishment, I run dual quads (2x4's). LOL
