14* base should give u a small gain, just run premium gas. If it pings back it down

make sure you unplug your timing advance from the intake and have somebody run your rpm's up to 2,000 or 3,000 to get a better reading or else you will see that when you get on it it pings like hell....also run 93

lol...completely wrong

Your spout is over by CAI, unplug that to get base timing...do not rev it up. Thats why its called "base timing" with the spout back in it lets the cpu take over timing adjustments.

Reving lets u see total timing good, set base timing like I said above

Letting your mangina bleed on a public forum is even more funny...specially when you give out wrong info..haha but you can go ahead and hate on me, I thought it was very funny putting your newb knowledge on blast.
Didnt want the poor guy timing his car incorrectly.
