Don't be scared to adjust/check your timing, takes me a total of maybe 5 minutes to do. It definentally makes a huge difference in performance.

I felt a little difference but really couldnt tell that much when I removed my air silencer and bumped my timing. I did that on my bone stock 93. It felt like I added pulleys or something.... no biggie

2: on the main wiring going into distributor there is a small "jumper" plug with only 2 wires piggy backed on that same harness.
you'll see it when you look for it, pull the little jumper plug out ( with car off )
Now you're in base timing mode.

I was wondering what that does unpluging the cap to the jumper plug? And what if you don't unplug that cap?

If you don't, the computer controls the timing so you can't really tell what it's set at.
