also i converted the distributor over to the z6 dizzy and using the si harness with the si injector resistor on the 450cc injectors, will that all work together? some guy said it won't work cuz i have to use the si dizzy not the z6 dizzy.. let me know!!!!

as far as i know you cant use a z6 dizzy the internals are way different i have a a6 dizzy modified to fit on the z6 head just a dremel and some big washers oh and at 13psi its not fast at all you dont go nowhere unless you got some good tires trust me ;D

Timing light is your friend, youll need it, it really doesnt matter what what your settings are at, as long as your timing belt is on right, and using the 450's, jsut start out on the vafc around -33 or so across the charts, start it up, check timing, retard a hair, then start tuning after you make sure it runs fine. Make sure its running nice and rich at first though, you wont boost at idle, so you dont really need to worry about detonation when you first start her up.
