not yet at least.....

yeah run moar timing a lot more timing it will help power but require race gas. If your running factory timing its pointless to run even 93 it will run better on 87 because thats how weak the stock timing is set

so if i advance timing it will run better? i think it's a degree or two advanced

=P he doesnt know about timing

take your dizzy out, and cut the end of the bolt slider out so you can advance past it.

get ready to adjust the idle.

if your engine starts to idle down.... go the other way,

it doubled my power.... like, I was scared my engine was going to blow XD

for reference, and for just a little test before you go all in-----
loosten the bolt, and slide it ALLL!!! the way to one side. then go drive =) make fo sho there's some 93 octane in the tank to keep it from pinging

this may work to some degree but there becomes a point where it defeats the purpose to advance it any farther

so if i advance just a tad more it should run a tad better you say?

yes the idea is the spark fires a little before the piston gets to the top so the fuel air mixture is exploding right when it gets to the top insted of lighting it when it gets to the top and it exploding when its on the way down
