    So my 2000 GTP I had originally intended to sell ASAP due to various things (lots of rust and the tranny failing) but it seems I’ll have to at least make it last through the North Dakota winter in order to get the money for a nicer one.

    I've noticed that when I monitor my timing advance (KR) it's usually around -20 to -25 degrees during normal driving. WOT it'll hit 0 degrees but that's the most I've seen. Is this normal on a stock N/A 3800? The only thing I've really done so far is the ZZP "tune".
