Following my previous post I took your earlier advice and moved the vacuum advance source from ported to manifold. And like you said, peppier response, and not just off-idle but at all speeds. The truck used to feel maxed out at 60 miles an hour with little pull after that. It now pulls hard up to 75, where I back down due to high engine speed. No detonation under any conditions I could induce including WOT, highway cruise, and pulling inclines at low RPM. I had to back initial down to 11* due to hard hot-turnover and ended with 33 at 2800 RPM. also adjusted the idle AFR using a vacuum gauge. I am very happy with the results of the total tune!
