18 degrees is a lot if you're running the stock injectors. I've got mine advanced to the max and I'm still running rich. Remember that advancing at the distributor only adjusts the baseline timing and not the ignition curve. you've got to get into the ecu to do that. Good luck, pay attention and be very careful when advancing the ignition. The first time you here a ping, shut it off and retard the timing.

18 is fine. I set mine to 18 with intake and exhaust. Just make sure you use anything 91 octane or above or else you will here it knocking at WOT at around 3K RPMs until 3.5K and see white on the spark plugs. You will feel it when cruising on the freeway if you get on it.

18* means your off by a tooth on the cam gear. dizzy only adjusts 5* +/- unless you pull off bolts and spin the bitch all the way around.
