ignition timing

I have an mp computer, which I thought should increase the rev limiter to 6500, but mine still kicks me out at 6000, which leads me to believe the timing is too retarded is this correct, I really forget the difference between what retarding and advancing will do. Help please.

Thanks

your timing should be set at 12 degree's. if you think your timing is off, just check

I cant see timing effecting your rev limiter, but timing is crucial to good power and torque. Typically the more aggressive the advance is, (to a point), the more power you will create, but you are also more prone to tear stuff up, blow head gaskets etc.

I tend to stay somewhat conservative on timing because of 91 octane pump gas, but I could do more timing if I run race fuel, hench FWDs new adj computer may be a neat gadget to have when they are available for the TIIIs, the 87 T2 are available now I believe.
