Deb's 406 originally had 6x-8 heads. Ran fine even on 85 octane from the reservation pump. On 93 premium it notably felt slower. On 93 advancing to 20 initial brought response back but still required limiting total to@35 or you would risk light high rpm ping on a hot day-hot water temp as it approached 5000 rpm. That's a whole different curve than if setup for 87 or less.
20 initial allowed hot starts without kickback or to slow cranking. 22 was ok when motor was below warmup.
I put timing back to a "normal" 12 initial 36 total in by 2500 and convinced Deb her motor could run the cheap gas with no issue.
So...start with finding your motors "happy" initial advance for hot(heat soaked) starts. Keep your unboosted advance total "normal" . Pull timing as motor gets into boost. You'll probably need no more than 24-27 degrees final timing boosted at peak rpm.

Good info thanks. We did go out last night and I raced a guy 1/8 mile.
Never checked plugs until I got back home. Acording to the plugs
It needed more timing and looked a little rich yet, But that was after
the drive home. So- there is a local place by my area I'm going to make
A pass and I'll read the plugs right after the run. That will give me better
Information on my next step. All you guys have been a lot of help.
I'll let you know what I find out on the next pass I do. Thanks Again.
GT.
