    Hey guys...question(s) here. I have a '93 with a Kenne Bell s/c and recently had the intake gasket and timing chain replaced. Got the car back and it idles around 850-900 rpm. To me this seems high. I was wondering where the idle should be and where the timing should be set. Most everything I have read says that for a s/c engine the timing needs to be retarted some. Any insight here would be really appreciated. Thanks

    What box are you using to tune? BTM? Distributor locked? How much total boost?
