The only way it'll make it "a whole lot faster" is if the timing's about 180 degrees off. Assuming that your timing is close to stock now, it's not going to make a huge difference. Slightly noticable, yes. It can also improve gas mileage if yours is too far retarded. As mentioned above, you'll have to run a higher octane if you advance your timing enough, or you'll run into detonation problems.
