    just bought a code scanner...

    ok i went through the manual and it says that the timing has to be set before u should perform the koer test, does that mean stock timing? mine was at 14* but was recently kinda screwed up, not sure what it's at now but it doesnt ping on 91, would that make much of a difference in the test...

    quick question about a edelbrock performer

    guy wants to sell it to me for 300, good condition, would it be worth it to run it on my car? i'm not expecting some magical gains but how would it run with the eddy and say a 65 or 70mm throttle body? or would that be overkill for the stock heads/cam (keep in mind car is a sd) thanks :flag:
