so ive still got some money left over and im still looking to do some stuff to my car. and i was thinking of advancing my timing. from what ive read 12 BTDC will not cause a knock as long as i use a higher octane gas.
i was thinking about purchasing a pair of these http://www.aempower.com/product_cam.asp my questions are. one how much horsepower will i gain from advancing my timing? also i was just want to confrm that our cars run at 10 BTDC stock. any advice or tips would be much appreciated.

ok Kwanza26 sorry bout that anyway i didnt know i could adjust my timing using my distriubtor, back to advancing my timing.
all i have to do is just twist the distributor to set the timing, then tighten the bolts, right. right now its on the mark im guessing thats 10 BTDC. anyways do you think ill develop a knock if i run 16 BTDC on 93 octane? -------------------- Former: 96 GT 5 speed (i/p/e) Fate- rear ended by mack truck
