speakin of timing... how much can you run and still be streetable and not hard on things and or still spraying in the bowl?

I'm gonna skip a tooth or two.

You can run as much as you feel comfortable with. But with more timing you lose bottom end and spool up. Pretty much when it starts rattling like a old 6.5 chevy diesel you need to back it up a hair. About 1/8" is the most you want on a stockish truck. Less if you want to tow heavy.
