Hey Dudes,
I am so close to a daily driver i can smell it... and it smells good.

I have a 400 small block with a 4-barrel Edelbrock that i put on recently.
Now, when the motor warms up (after ~10 or 15 minutes of driving) the engine gets louder. It seems can hear the exhaust. It just runs rougher than when it was cooler. A mechanic took a look at it when I was getting the new exhaust on, and said the timing wasn't advancing as the RPMs increased. could this be causing the roughness?

thanks guys. I'm gonna post some pictures when i get 'er all done.
