What timing should I set my RS 87 to?
Hi guys I am having timing done on my 87 RS 2.8 and as far as I understand timing is done by degrees so what it the best (Most HP) setting that I should set my car to?

Someone told me to set the base timing at 12* advanced for better throttle response. Stock is 10* advanced i believe. Bear in mind this is base timing, which must be set with the computer advance disconnected.
