Default b16a help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have several questions hopefully people can help me with. OK first heres what I have. 1991 crx HF b16a, y1 tranny, zdyne 1 wire ecu, CAI, greddy exhaust,ITR intake cam, adjustable cam gears, MSD ignition and blaster coil, spoon head gasket, Apexi VAFC.
First does anyone have advice on setting the timing on the cam gears?
Also optimal settings on vafc as regards to fuel and whats best...
And I was pondering on putting CTR pistons in, and I was wondering if there are any problems in regards to valve clearance.
I figure right now I'm running 10.7:1 compression right now with the spoon head gasket. I went to the track yesterday and ran 14.6 on bald stock wheels and tires.
What should be my next step as for as performance parts. I'd like to run 13's consistently. All advice and help is greatly appreciated. If any more info is needed let me know.

Spend some money and dyno tune it.

Get some nice new tires. New pistons aren't a bad idea either. I didn't notice a header on your setup. That would help you out as well. Good luck!

oh yea and theres a nice hollow pipe where my cat used to be. I have a feeling my exhaust is flowing pretty well even though i don't have a aftermarket header.

one more technical question.. is it possible to use the new style throttle body with the map sensor on it instead of the firewall? Anyone know.. and as far as the dyno goes... we have no import performance shops here.. and Id like to know where to start tuning before I shell out cash and start making random guesses as to where to set my timing and fuel.

do you think that a skunk2 intake manifold will make that much difference?
Also I was thinking about nitrous... Think the motor could hold it with 10.7:1 compression?

You're moving too fast. Settle down and get the parts you have dialed in before you start thinking of what to change yet. And when you DO change something, change only one thing at a time.

'88 CRX Si, JDM B16A, AEM CAI, Flowmaster exhaust, stripped interior, advanced timing 2 degrees, Motomaster tires. Check my sig for the time
