I'd say 14 degrees. Decent advancement and it won't eat up your cat.

If you aernt pinging on 87 then keep running it. If you start to ping step up to 89 or 91/93 until you stop pinging.

better degrees of spark burn fuel better.. usless.. just set it at a 16 degrees and save gas..

retard gives u high end and advance gives u low..

dont expect nothing on the but dyno with a stock car.

prolly feel it more on a high hp car.. v8 etc..
