Yeah, I feel a little more power. I cranked mine to 17 BTDC on 87 octane fuel and haven't encountered any pings or knocks. At the first sign of detonation though, I'll dial it back. I still have kind of erratic idle once the car has warmed up. Holds at around 900rpm for about 5 seconds, drops to 750, and raises back to 900 slowly, rinse and repeat. Any ideas? I'm positive it's because of the timing, but I want to know if there's a way to combat it.
