I have an open car and to be honest its loud once you get moving. I have been listening and I just do not hear a ping. When holding 45 and advancing without giving any more gas I can feel the power increase once I do not feel an increase I back off one click. When I look I am at 3/4 spark advance.

I guess what I am saying is that I now use the spark advance by feel and I did not do that with my stock head. Is my method sound?
