thanks for the input guys. I already torqued the stockers down to 120 im not planning on it staying together forever but so far so good. making 45 psi with the hx 40. i will check the pressure for the stuble up high too. So my next ? with all that timing, like around 20* do they still start when its cold? im all the way north in jersey its like 5* out rite now

why would you want 22 degrees anyways unless you are making big power its not needed
im only runnin 19 on my truck and putting down 550 with what is in my sig and that is plenty

because everyone thinks the more timing they run, the more power they will make but noone understands the concept of it.

I'm sure your also aware that timing of the pump is not always the timing after the injector?

It doesnt matter what the pump is timed at, what spray pattern the injectors have, or what piston bowl you are running, as long as your still spraying in the bowl is what matters, most people with stock pistons, run way to high of timing, im meaning 25*+, your 22.5* is fine because it still sprays inside the bowl.

injector line size, pop pressure, dv holders, plungers ect could change your timing as well. What I'm saying is just cuz your pump is timed at 20* or whatever does not always mean your injecting fuel at 20* BTDC.
