Its time to learn how to tune it.
Most hot rod shops want to sell you alot of parts, many may or may not be needed.
Read and ask alot of questions here and do it yourself.
I bought a gauge last night to check compression and also bought a timing light. I don't have any timing tape on my balancer so I purchased that as well. I know how to check compression but I don't understand how to read the degrees off the balancer while the car is running. Do you shine the timing light at the balancer and see what degree its at?
