would I be able to retard my timing or anger by myself? or should I have a mechanic do this. would retarding the timing have any effect on the feel of the car otherwise?

It's not difficult if you have the tools, but too much retard can cause your car to misfire.

And dex, I do have slips somewhere, but I can't seem to locate them (might have been left in that car when it was sold). It was hitting low 15's that night, all night, with 93-94 mph trap speeds. I finally hit 14.9 and then 14.8 both with 97 mph trap speeds, I think. Can't really remember. Either way, with trap speeds like that, a typical car with good traction can hit mid 14's. It's mostly my traction that was bad. I'll search a bit for those slips, I'm sure I have at least a few. I'll post it if I find it.
