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.

just advanced my 7afe today. I never checked the timing since i got the car (only 4 months old). My autos teacher said it was around 8 degrees which was low. So i think we got it to like 11 or 12 as much as the dizzy cap would go.
