I was told by a friend that if you ... ADJUST YOUR DISTRIBUTOR and TRY TO MAXIMIZE THE FUEL RATIO and GET YOUR TIMING ADJUSTED TO GET YOUR SPARK IN THE FIRST CYLINDER.... you can actually get ADDED HORSE POWER as much as 10HP so IS IT TRUE????? Any comments are more than welcome because I'm planning on doing it on my second car.

Leave the timming stock.

you can advance the timming for better response but then you'll have to use premium gas or higher and even then you won't get 10hp.

don't do it unless you're know what you're doing

If you retard your timing, you gain top end and lose bottom end. Vice versa if you advance it.....just leave it stock and get some decals for your 10hp
