Also, I asume you are keeping windows closed. I don't frequent these page and I'm sure this has been covered over and again but isn't AC vs open windows a wash when at hwy speeds?

I live in Houston and still have the AC hooked up and will keep it that way. If it is just me in the car i wont use it and crack the window and 2-3 inches.

50 psi seems very high, must be well above the manufacturers recommendation, this has to affect traction, stopping and handling. What potential risk does this have on both you and other drivers around you?
Advancing the timing and running lean while disabling the knock sensor... This sounds like a recipe for a ruined engine, what's the cost of yet another engine?

my tires are set at 35psi. its what the sidewall says. and i have not touched the timing.
