on my celica i have a few mods and my cuisn tweaked with the timming a little bit and if u know what im talking bout the timming was set at 16 and it used to be at 5 and i noticed it gave it a lil more power and it kinda sounds a lil like its "caming". but it drives better and i have not noticed any problems at all..
what do u guys think about this i would like ur info......

there is a marking on the timing gear and the block. the crucial pullys all have them, crank, cam, water pump ect. when the marks on the pulleys and the block are lined up the time is pretty well syncronized, and when your cuzin advanced the timing all he did was set the mark on the pully off from the mark on the block, all he is doing is changing the time that the valves in the head open and close.

uh no, we're talking about ignition timing, not cam timing here!

And yes you can get gains noticable enough by advancing timing, the torque comes in a little bit earlier
