I don't know. Just a guess. "Degrees" brother? And no, I'm not trying to be a smart ****. I've never used the Diablo before but timing is measured in degrees, so, it's a safe guess.

the timing stock is at 10 deg. the diablo only advances and retards at WOT so if your problem is at idle or under normal driving conditions then this wont help your problem
