    Assuming my stock 78 308 does indeed run well (only drove one other)on regular gas, if I bump the timing up just below pinging on hi-test how much performance is there to be gained? Any guesses or research?

    I know that works on an old watercooled VW 8V motor with the factory knock sensor. It used to be good for another 8 or so hp. No knock sensors in our 308's except our ears.
