Default Predator tuning question


I tried to put in the 93 octane tune today from the 91 but theprogram wouldn't allow the cursor to grab the right heading. Therefore, I went to the Global Timing heading and added 2 degrees to that field. It had been set at 0 and looked like it could be set between -10 to +10.

I have 3 questions:

1. Did I add +2 degrees of timing to the base factory timing?

2. If so what is the base factory timing? 8 degrees initial?

3. By adding 2 degrees to the Global Timing did I add 2 degreees to the 2000-4000RPM and 4000-7000RPM advance timing also? I don't really want to do that and they looked like they were already pretty advanced already.

I am running 93 or 94 octane regularly and just took the Stang for a ride and it drove great, with seemingly less hesitation. I'd like to add more timing and find the ideal zone, but I don't want to screw anything up either. I would think something around 13-16 degrees would be safe but I don't have any experience with these motors. Please chime in if you have any experience with this! Thanks.[/align]

FYI - adding 2 degrees of timing via the Global Spark menu is the right way to go for the 93 octane tune, per Diablosport.
