we set my timing at 16* after about three weeks it started to kill over at 4000 so i was thinking my filter or something else was the problem so my friend decided to nock the timing back just to see if it made a difference i am at 12* now and it is stronger than the day i got it and i was running 93 octane but it does depend considering what maf and fuel injectors and all that to know what you need
