I have an ECU that controls fuel and spark on my 455, "66" casting Dports, zero mods to ports or chambers, 8.3:1. I have a timing table, in lieu of a vacuum advance or advance weights & springs, and can put the timing anywhere I want at any part of the table. For BEST performance on a chassis dyno, my motor performs best with 37 degrees timing.
