Advancing timing=how much power?

Since you're going to spend wild money anyone for that tank of premium, throw in some injector clean too. Your butt will feel it.

P.S. What mods do you have on the car already?

I bumped mine up after work. I took it back down though. That idle went a lil high which I'm not sure if it's normal or not but it was at 1500 rpm at all the stoplights.

I think I'm gonna keep it safe so I can use the cheaper fuel cause of course I didn't really even feel it but for only 6 horsepower I guess I can only say....duh!!!

I'm trying to get parts together to get my turbo on the car and then running 93 octane won't be that big of a deal cause I'll have the power that warrants needing that kinda octane, or higher. Right now, the car just isn't fast enough to be spending that kinda money.

What fuel did you have in the car? What kind of plugs do you run? What heads?

8A_Honda · September 8th, 2007, 12:12 PM

93 octane, ngk plugs, stock heads.

Why would bumping up the timming efect you idle speed

8A_Honda · September 8th, 2007, 07:43 PM

That's what I'm wondering but as I'd turn the distributor, the idle would go up or down as I'd advance or retard. And yes I had the spout connector unplugged.
