16 deg +/- 2 deg. Dyno test it....some like it all the way up to 18 some will start dropping off.....

My friends loves 18 deg...and makes good power there....
Mine doesn't like anything more that 16.5 or so.....

It's a car by car basis, so the only way to see what you need is on a dyno....

 

thanks for the answear so quick! H-T 0wns

 

16 +/- is correct

Yes, that is fine.

And standing in front of the car the #1 Piston is on the right side -- the one furthest from the distributor.

 

Oh $hit... my bag... You are correct Poison... 1 is on the right... I'm tired, and it's time to go home, it's not my fault...

 

I didn't even see that question to answer or know what u were talkin about....looks like I'm gettin Net weary here too....

 

lol, it's ok i even screwed up here too about oil and put changing ur oil every 30,000 instead of putting 3,000 miles to me

thanks again guys

 

something more i need to know?

 

Maybe reset the ECU? Don't know if it helps, but it won't hurt!!!

 

You need to "jump" the service connector (is that how it is called) located near the ECU on the passenger side while you do the adjustment. Otherwise the ECU will compensate for whatever modification you will do. Go to c-speedracing.com for a good step by step description.

 

Well, you need to short out part of the system, then start the car, change the timing, pull out the paper clip you used to short out part of the system and then turn the car off. Then it will stay at 18, otherwise it will drop back to 16 if you turn the car off and the pull the clip.
