With the AFC and no chip, you'll be turning your airflow way down, so you'll land yourself on an unnaturally low load map = more timing.

So retarding the base timing will mean the ECU can still run the 25* of electronic advance that it wants to with the same net effect of the normal 20 +5* base.

The lower fuel pressure will allow you to comp less with the AFC.

I'm sure you knew most of this if you went 12.7 but just in case, there it is again.
Thanks for the great advice. I had been told that by my mechanic, but I never tried it. I really should do it though. I'm using a GM Maft and an SAFC for tuning. Tommorow I'm replacing the thermostat so I'll do that when I'm finished.
