Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
First off, I am fairly new to TDR, but really appreciate the vast amount of knowledge and help you all provide.
I have a '95 2500 4x4 5spd conversion, with a #6 plate full forward, k&n, and 4-inch exhaust minus down pipe. I would like to try to set my own timing and am wondering what I should set it at. My goal for now is 500hp. I would really appreciate any recommendations and advice. Also I have heard about the "seat of the pants" method to setting timing. How is it set with this method? I prefer to do the best method and am pricing timing sets, while getting my courage out of the attic and dusting it off. I have been through 1 year of diesel mechanics, mostly basics, hard to learn it all in a short time. I did put the plate in and adjust the governor lever to keep it from hanging up under the profile. Thanks for the help, Jordan
