I'm about to do the timing belt on my 5ks fwd auto,  I may have inadvertently
gotten off one tooth on the cam sprocket last time (power went up a bit).  At
this point, what would you run as timing when the new belt goes in?  Comments
on the cam timing?

I have also lost the cat's innards.  This seemed to free things up some
in the midrange, it's a little noisy at the low end.  I anticipate
exhaust next year, at which time I'll probably sleeve it, eliminate the
resonator and go for a stainless sports muffler (there were some brands
on the list).  What other cheep power is to be had on this beast?
