Timing question

DBMSTNG said:

a timing adjuster moves all the timing at all rpms and engine loads up the same amount. this means that if the adjuster is advanced 2 degrees, then the timing is turned up 2 degrees from idle to 6000rpm.

with a tuner, you can bump up timing in 1000rpm increments. so you can add only 1 degree at 2000rpm and add 5 degrees at 5000rpm. you can also adjust for the various load tables.

this allows you to add as much timing that's possible in the upper rpm at WOT without causing low rpm pinging.

this is just a quick explanation. i'm lazy and don't feel like writing a huge novel. hope this helps.
