Just making sure on this one, is there such a thing as to much timing to a point where it's not beneficial? Right now I'm at 24*-26* at WOT and not knocking yet lol

Yes you can run too much to where the fire line will out run the piston. I would stick to 18-20*.
Drop the timing and pulley down...man I need chipped pistons...does that give me a better running car? LOL
I think I remember a conversation detailing that anything above 22* WOT is useless. But I read that like... six months ago. In the meantime, I've been rather enjoyed by my beer. So, make of that what you will.
"I ran up to 22*is timing on my old setup, never ran any better than when the timing was 20*. So I backed it back down to 20 and called it a day." - Reptile

It all comes down to spark burn time and piston travel, which you need an ignition scope to figure out.
I don't think he is going to run a smaller pulley since he has chipped pistons Nick
I'd just put the timing down to 20* and buy a new bottom end LOL
AutoX'ing is pretty legit in a boat...I give ya kudos.
I'd get headers and put a stock pulley on it with a high comp bottom end
IIRC 18-20* is best for a super charged motor and for a NA that the max timing is 20-26* WOT. Also I think that a degree or two can be added if running ethanol but I would not go much higher and only do it if you are running e85 all the time.
I was running 21-23 WOT timing on a 3.4 with slight blips under .3 with a 11.8-12.1 afr
