pretty much the timing... whats the advance at now?
go buy a tank of good fuel (like mobil hehe ) get a timing gun and advance things a couple of degrees. go for a good hard flog with a warm engine, and at peak load, full throttle, listen for detonation (like shaking rice in a tincan). if you dont get any pinging, stop the car and advance the timing some more. keep advancing the timing till you can 'just' hear detonation begin right at max load, then go back and retard the timing 2 degrees.
thats about it.
while youre at it, why not shut down your egr, put a catchcan on your pcv, and f-ck off as much emissions as you can.
