663 @ 4800 on a set of twisties? Without a power adder I say

663 would be way pushing it on an S-Trim.

well got the car cranked today and drove it from hoover to leeds with no problems. cranked first time. had to mess with the timing a bit to get it to idle but other than that no prob. prob going to trade my friend for his upper and lower since i drive mine more often than track duty, and his is more for track use. but other than that with the head swap, feels about the same with 10* on the new set up with 18* on the old set up. gonna give it a few days till i start dialing it up.

Going from E7's to TW heads should feel like more than just an 8-degree timing bump -- there should be a major difference.

Actually, that shouldn't have changed anything at WOT. As long as the TPS goes above, 2.71v, then the ECU sees it as WOT.

However, if it was off that bad at the bottom end, it probably was screwing up your idle.
