i dont think 92 octane is going to help you because those dont run high compression whatsoever. My sohc zc didnt open up until 4000 either maybe that is just the way they are i dont know.

 

i mean its brutel power loss i mean if sounds like my engine is struglin to much

 

your spelling and grammar should be more of a concern.

bring it to the smog tech, he'll adjust your timing correctly. when it passes smog, you can advance it a little bit to squeeze out a few ponies.
