You would not want to advance your distributor ignition timing.

You need to read http://www.phearable.net/tech/....html
Get your self a engine management system & have the car dyno tuned

Adjustable cam gears must be tuned on a dyno. You cannot use anyone else's settings as every engine is differently and reacts differently to tuning.

Set both cam gears to the stock 0 setting until you get it on a dyno.

what do you mean dont have access to a dyno, seach around for tuning shops in your area.

its not somthing you can do yourself. it takes ALOT of knowlege and experience to do it right.

Exactly, everyone tries to compare settings, maps, etc when every engine no matter how close the setup is going to be different in some aspect.

My advice, get it tuned correctly by a proffessional&lt;--- thats the key word. No offense to you personally
