I remember reading all over the place that if you advance the timing, you will get a bit more power/response, etc. How does one go about doing it? Does it at all affect the reliability of the car, or the efficiency? Will it harm my gas at all? I'd like to hear feedback from those that have done it.

its not as linear as that and is different for every application.
a little more peppy, a little more power all over, and i've noticed slightly better low rpm acceleration (accelerating in high gear at highway speed). burning 89 octane fuel with what seem like normal knock counts and the plugs look just a little on the hot side of normal. night and day difference? hell no. small gain? yea...i suppose. -------------------- |
