Default Timing advance with 93 octane?

I know 18 degrees is the highest within spec but since we run 93 here in Alabama is it possible that I could go to maybe 19 degree's without worrying?

.....i'm at 21 degrees with spec B's - although that's prolly NO help at all.

I wouldn't advance too far without being on the dyno. Too much advance is bad for power just like too much retard. There's a "sweet spot" somewhere and the only way to find it is on the dyno.

Good question. I wonder when acura decided on the safe range of timing, if they assumed the lowest high octane gas there is in NorthAmerica?

lol...

use 93 for 18+ degrees. if you can get more than 93 octane im sure you can advance the ignition timing some more.
