first spin after head gasket replacement

so i took the 300 out today after the replacement of the head gasket that started about two months ago

smoke puffing out the valve cover is kinda discouraging allthough everybody i talk to say that its burn off

it was just burn off wheww pop pop fiz fiz ohh what a releife it is lol

boy and i thought that i was gonna have to take the heads back off and have them milled

i thought well maybe everybody is right so ill take it out and see so i warmed her up and made sure alll the lights work shoot i gotta replace a rear brake oh well

so i replace the buldb and take her to ther pavement ( after shes warm though)

i take it about a half mile no hessitation or nothin hmmm

was my head gasket replacement a success???

so i turn around after about half a mile and before i get to the stop sign on the road i was turning around on i dump the clutch and romp on her

let off and i approach the stop sign hmm i chuckle as my freind says that she sounds pretty nice

before he gets it all out of his mouth i dump the clutch again and begin a launching powerslide out the gate (lol the race is on)
i grab second and watch the boost gauge with little satisfaction my boost creep is back it launches to 10 then creeps to 12 shoot
need to put the old spring back on the pretty chromy is too sloppy lol

but anyway i still need to adjust the timing anmd by the way what should i have the timing set to?? im gonna be running 12 psi boost

i had to put a 3" muffler on it wow theres a difference its quiter than stock oh wait at 4000 rpm shes a little louder lol
had to put something to quite her down for the neibors

well anybody know a sweet spot for the timing ???
