RE: HOLY COW!

I believe it. I adjusted my timing from 6 to 14, and think I gained an honest 15-20 hp...seriously.

That sounds about right. Most sources say that on average, you gain 3 - 4 HP per degree of timing (to a certain extent.) So if you advanced it 8 degrees, I would have estimated the gains to be 24 - 32 HP or so. Of course, I always lean towards the lower number.
