With these mods what do you guys think the hp would be around?

the thin washers will help keep you in the bowl when running higher timing.
here is where I bought mine ( use the thinnest washer in the kit)
B,C Series 5.9L Injector Installation Kit (6))

Well in Northern IL it can get down below zero. I think I may have installed the thin washers already. They looked thinner than ones I've seen before. Well we'll give 24 a shot and see how it goes. What do you guys think we'll be sitting at for hp? We are hoping for at least 600 rwhp. I forgot to add the head was also ported and valves changed to 45* angles.
Also is fuel economy sacrificed by running that much timing?

just a thing about the head and fire rings..... you will need to HOT retourque it several times to make sure your head gasget seals properly..... we fire ringed a head for a guys 94 and he blew the head gasget cause he didn't hot retourque the head...... i would do it more then once...... and i think i would run around 20-24* advance. i don't think you will have a problem starting your truck at that.......good luck dude keep us posted on how your making out with it

Your biggest issue is going to be finding the right setting where you can still drive it. At the pulls, you are going to want to be more up around 28-30* so when she's singing at 4k it makes good power, but on the street you'll never light that turbo. For a good combo I think 22-24 will be a great place to start at and see what you think.
You should have the .5mm washers in there. If not, swap them in.
