Basically base timing is the setup used for intitial startup and as basis for all the calculations it does based on conditions. The if the ECU decides that conditions are right it will advance it a little more [Hence your 13], if it decides that somethings not quite right it will retard it.
So If you just want bragging rights - you say you have your car advanced to the base timing you set [regardless of where it may actually be running ATM] This post has been edited by DEATH: Jun 20, 2008 - 2:48 PM -------------------- ![]() ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
