  Thanks for all the info - time to go JY surfing for a late-model 3.4 after the Thanksgiving holiday.  My original modified 2.8 has had a piston slap since day-one (long story as to why).  I've been playing with the VE tables and spark timing now that I have a working wideband datalogger. Even though my calibration is far from perfect it will break the front end loose in first or second gear, with 10 PSI boost.
  I know the "tired" engine will not hold up to much more; but I want to get it up to 15 PSI (the limit of my speed-density EFI system).
