Get a timing gun or adavance it until it runs crappy and then back it off a bit Remember to run premium fuel when advancing the timing.

I thought this was a joke, wow man, get a timing gun, follow what the manual says, in the +/- degrees range. Maybe advance it to what it allows + and see if it runs fine.
