Well I was finally able to do a road test today. The results were pretty bad. There is quite a bit of pinging and the valves are chattering. I had a feeling this thing would end up a giant dilema. So I've adjusted the timing and that doesn't help. I readjusted the valves when hot to fact. spec of .08 and .12. Adjusting the valves actually made the chatter worse? Do I have too much compression and that is what is causing the ping. I just threw some 87 octane gas in there...could this be the problem??? She needs premium? Its pinging pretty bad so I don't think its just the gas? It seems like timing to me but the pinging won't go away no matter how I adjust the timing. Is there anything else that can be causing the pinging. I'm no to turbos so any info would be a great help.

Sundowner... Is this the setup you're running with the 22re bottom end and turbo head? If so did you run into problems like this?
