What are the advantages of advancing the timing of your engine? I have been told that it is not good to do, dont ask me why though? Does this have to be done by a mechanic, or is it fairly easy to do yourself? If possible, can someone explain how to do it. What are the possible HP gains from this?
If you advance your timing you will HAVE to run a premium grade of gas. Advantages are free horsepower and better response. You can do it yourself but you need a timing light and there is a rain dance you have to do to put the car in timing mode.
