How much power can timing get you? went to the dyno to find out!

The 1G ECU doesn't really account for timing belt stretch if I recall correctly. Seemed like 22 degrees at 7000 RPM equated to about 16 degrees actual advance. Or at least some where in that neighborhood.
Every motor is different. But my personal opinion is I like to mess with fuel and find the fuel that will get the best mph with the lowest timing advance for a given boost level. I like to mess with the stock block though and it is my opinion that the best way to keep a stock block in one piece is low timing advance and a stockish rev limiter. You can still go very quick with those limitations.

I went from 10 degrees max @ 31psi to 17 degrees @ 31psi and gained a good 60-65hp. This was at 8500 rpm max and on E85. That's how I went from getting 125 traps to 130+ traps. I think it can severly differ depending on your setup though. It is always best to take the approach given in this writeup. Start low and raise until you don't get anymore gain. I use AEM dyno math to let me know if I am making more power or not.
