im guessing that's high comp? in any case - get a trans cooler or ur auto will go bye bye

Thats a good number for a straightforward upgrade, 10psi on a hicomp is pushing the limit of detonation though - sure there was no sign of pinging ?

yeah man i have been fiddeling with the timing a fair bit. im running 98 octane and stuff. i do need new spark plugs but cause it missfires. jake told me to go one heat range colder and gap em at .8mm

yes 98 octane would be pretty much necessary for that setup, base timing no more than 12deg advanced, what is yours set to ?

How long has your trans held up like that for? Doing the conversion soon and wondering how long the auto will hold up with a trans cooler.

Trans may last a few months, maybe a few years. Depends on how you drive it. Mine lasted 4-5 months but i would drive it pretty hard.
