My engine tends to shake more than I think it should. I have the dampener spring adjusted and it's the new type. Valves are adjusted. New mounts and shocks. Plenty of ITUs and highway driving with grades. New injector nozzles. Still shakes. Not enough to worry about, but enough to annoy me. The only thing I haven't really done yet is IP timing, and I'm wondering if this will affect the shake. My engine runs strong, 0-60 around 13 or so (haven't _really_ timed it) 26-27 MPG, so I don't think it could be that far off.

I've searched the forum and found the injection timing threads, but just wondering what I'm going to improve by drip timing the engine. Will it smooth out the idle or is injection timing more of a performance issue?
