    Default Looking for spark advice - '98 blown 5.7 truck

    What do the '98 5.7 trucks with a blower "like" for spark? Not sure of the boost, but for now assume it's 5-6#. I know many of the different GM models have veryu different spark requirements, but I have no experience dealing with one of these and would rather give it a good safe maximum spark. I assume an A/F at WOT should be in the 11.5-12.0 range. Any other tuning tips would be appreciated!
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't really know an exact figure because there is just too many variables. Perhaps start at around 12 - 15 total timing, maybe less then, creep up on it.

    Cheers,

    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T
    MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE
    DUCT TAPE.
    IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
