    You can advance your timing to 16* or 18*, both have shown power gains via dyno.

    You will need to have your car in diagnostics mode to change your timing, please use a proper timing gun lol. To advance timing turn disti towards the firewall.

    I ran 18* in my Protege GT, ran beautiful.

        I don't know, but I'm going to guess that one of the negatives of increasing timing is reduced gas mileage. Can anyone who's done it confirm or deny that?

          it doesnt reduce gas milage... if anything it helps, as it the engine will run more efficiently.

          i've run 14* on 87 octane... any more advance than that and you should run higher octane gas.
