Depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for increased fuel efficiency and better throttle response, go with the timing. A dyno is really kind of wasted money to me because you really aren't getting any real benefit for the price except a piece of paper telling you how much power your car has.

no im not doing it for me im doing it for the org, so every1 can see how much gains headers get from stock, or timing avance gets from stock, im asking ppl which dyno they would rather see stock vs. timing advance or stock vs. headers or stock vs. headers and timing advance, im going to get 2 dynos and post them

Ah, I see...I misunderstood your original post -- I would definitely say get the dyno of the headers. I think most people are in agreement that the advance isn't doing much in the way of whp.

I believe we already have dynos of an 02 with Hotshots... actually there are a number of em... Harmbone2k2, Chinkzilla, Jon610... save your money for something else... like an AFC, which will help ya squeeze out a little more hp with your headers, or some spelling lessons...

Within the next month I am going to go down to CT. and get my car dynoed. Right now I only have intake and catback. Both have minimal gains,so i am going to dyno it soon assuming that it is close to stock HP and post the results. But I am also going to get a dyno after I either install my hotshot headers or get my timing advanced. I can't do all three because I cannot afford that, unless someone wants to paypal me money. So which dyno should I get done, just timing advance dyno, just headers or both headers and timing.

...Better.

i agree. if you get the headers, then save up for an safc 2 so you can correct the a/f which tends to get off course after headers. it would be nice to see the difference in timing but i have a feeling that it going to only show in lower rpms and might not be recorded depnding what gear you dyno in. if you just want to dyno regardless, i would do it after headers to make sure the safc would be a justified future purchase.

SR20 stated that if your a/f is in between 13 and 14 the price of the SAFC may not be worth the gains ...

Timing. There's tons and tons of header dynos. Let's see something no one else has done.
