Hey Mad Dart I thought it was better to run full timing unless I was getting spark knock. With timing set at 35 degrees there is no detonation so you are saying I would still be better to take timing out? I have a msd 6btm box, so its easy to pull timing out

I always thought the same, but recently learned from Brian at IMM that it depends on the engine. You need to play with it a little. On the dyno, he started out with 34, but ended up making more power with a better curve at 31. You kind of need to play with it a little to see what works for your combo. I'd back it off a couple degrees at a time until you get the best time.
