yeah colder plugs can definately help. As for knowing exaxtly how much to retard timing, definately hit a tuning shop with a dyno just like robs99si did. Every engine and setup will require different amounts of timing adjustments and fuel adjustments. So, the only true way to get it set where it "should" be and where it makes it's most power would be to hit the dyno
