Some turbo thrown in

I was first running around a 6.3 FDR when I started this setup (borrowed from a friend) and it ran horrible while coming off under 100* F. I just threw 4 teeth at it to a 5.4 (currently on the car) and it picked up a considerable amount of speed and a temp of around 155 from what I can remember.

What can I do to give this setup more bottom end? It just doesn't have as much rip as I'd like, but it has nice top end (would be great on a large asphalt track).

Although it seemed to run slower at 6.3 with this setup, would it help to shorten the RPM range a bit and work my way back up into the 6's?.... or take motor timing back off and try another tooth or so?

I've never ran an SS with 212, but some of the other fast guys did and seemed to have great luck with it, so I know it has potential. Thanks Tekin
