101 won't help.

I don't understand what you're saying about the timing adjuster? Stock timing is set at 10 degrees....You don't want to advance it anymore than 14 degrees

Oh, now i see, so 14 is the safest to go?? What happens if i go over 14? And will i fell a difference on 4 more degrees of timing?? I am done using the 101, dumb idea, i just put 3/4 tank os 87 in to bring the octane numbers down a bit, i guess when i get the timing adjuster on i will use 91 from now on....

And its not BS, have you ever tried 101 in your car?? Cause I DID notice a bit more power, i am not saying like 10 hp more like 1 or 2 if that. Its def. not worth the money tho and i am not going to use it again till i get my timing adjuster on, and the higher the octane the slower it burns thus creating a bit more power, think about it....

Ok so you could actually FEEL a 2 hp increase. The increase may be there but you can't feel a 1-2 hp increase.
