As Pro50 said...go for it! Can't beat the price. Just be careful when you do it. Most agree that 14* is perfectly safe. You can most likely advance it beyond that too, but you have to be careful. And you may want to think about running 91+ octane when you do advance it. Some people can get away with 87 ot 89, but I don't want to take the chance.

Either way, it's real easy to do and it will give you some free HP.

Be sure to tell him that it will also increase your gas mileage. see? You're trying to be responsible and save money by getting better mileage. He doesn't need to know about the extra HP!

Just be sure you do it correctly, and don't forget to remove the spout connector (with the engine off) before you do it.

stock motor will take 14*...but becareful if you have carbon build up it might detonate...carbon can increase compression.
