What You are doing in this mod is advancing the timing of the ignition spark. Timing advance helps produce more power by igniting the spark plugs sooner, providing more time for the fuel/air mixture to burn completely, increasing cylinder pressure, thus providing more power.
If too much advancement is done the fuel/air mixture will ignite too soon producing pinging, or pre detenation, this can destroy your motor.
The factory setting is a very safe setting, and from research it seems advancing the timing +5 deg makes the best power. If you don't want to be cutting and self fabricating this mod. You can buy a +5 factory ignition advancer for $60.

yes you are correct there.
but when you are adjusting your valves, you need all the valves to be closed, which means you are on the opposite side of the cam from the raised profile, which determines your lift and duration. so from top dead center 5, 10, or even 15 degrees one way or the other the cam will have the same "flat" profile as it does at true tdc. at those points the cam is still the same circle and has not start to ramp up to the cam profile. i hope this makes sense.
you can always toss a screwdriver in the spark plug hole and find tdc93 600 kat

Has anyone tried toluene/xylene or race gas with very aggressive timing advances? If so, what were the gains. I'm curious to try this.---Jeff (Long Beach Represent!)
