Timing Advance..


i just advanced to 15*. up from 6* previously. My question is what is the max safe advancement for a lightly modded motor? Currently im running 100 octane. and i never purchase lower than 91.

If you're mildly modded you don't need that 100 octane. With the timing advance you're right to not use below 91 though.
