RE: Timing

10 degrees is initial with spout out and with spout in what ever computer decides usually somewhere around 20 but that changes with rpm and heavyload

RE: Timing

Start at 10 (which is stock)...Then advance it until you are happy.

Once it starts pinging/backfiring...that is too far.

14-18 is normally safe....just make sure that you are putting in high octane gas.

RE: Timing

most people like it aroud 14 degrees initial ....anywhere from 13 to 15 is fine but with the initial more advanced you usually have to run premium gas about 93 coctane to avoid pinging/detonation.
