    it shouldn't change anything with the tune itself. You will be advancing or retarding the timing all around by changing the base timing

    FASTER THAN DUBBSY

            Re-adjust the base timing and change the timing in the tune.

                Bah, should be a piece of cake. Lets get that chip burner working so that you can actually change things. I have a timing light too if you need.

                  Didn't they set your timing right when they put it on the dyno?? When i did the sol they did it before we started tuning.

                    You would think so. The easiest way to tell is just throw a timing light on there and see what it is at.
