Shouldn't have done anything, except make it have less power. Its having too much advance that will hurt you..

thats good! how much of a loss of hp are we talking here if i was 5 degrees retarded?

Uh... your ignition was too far ADVANCED not retarded... 11degrees btdc is further forward in the stroke then 16degrees btdc.

Not much if any... but like I said above your's was advanced not retarded so you probobly lost a little up top...

My car was soo advanced it was pinging like a beotch... I retarded it and you can't tell any difference at all... other than the lack of pinging.
