If you want your timeing advanced take the car into a mechanic, he'll have a timing light to use on your fly wheel. he could advance or retard the timing. I had my mechanic set mine to 92 octane which you can only get at amaco but it's defenatly worth the preformance boost and better gas milage.

The other thing is you set it to a certian degree BTDC(before top dead center. There isn't a way to set it to a octance. Just adding ny 2 pennies
