timing adj?

Ok folks, I am new to the computer controlled motors so bear with me. I am wondering about adjusting the timing for a little better performance. How do you do this with the 92 tpi's? Is it worth it and with a close to stock motor where do you suggest setting the timing?

Thanks all,
Jeremy

unplug the est wire and set it like you would on any other car. the est is a brown wire w/tan stripe near the blower box. it's a single wire, maybe inside a wire loom. plug it in when you're done. if anyone has done this before it may be hanging out of the loom.

i believe how the computer works is it will add 22 deg. more timeing to the base (base is set when you ajust the dirstributer) stock is set @6DBTDC so that would give a max of 28 deg. i have my base @ 8 deg. so that would give 30 btdc


someone correct me if i am wrong
