Ok I see that timing should be about 15 BTDC, but I live in near Denver (actually 1000 feet higher than Denver). How should I time my car? Should I go with more or less I have no idea? Also I want a little more power and I will be running 91 octane could, so I can advance even more right?

thanks for all your help

I'd go with 2-3 degs. of advance... the ECU will compensate for elevation when the 02 is workin, but on WOT it will run rich due to the smaller amount of 02 in the air.

i live in arvada and have a sohc i have mine at about 19 deg right now but was at 20 it seems to feel a little smoother now but with no cat everytime i shift at wide open throttle especially 2-3 i get a massive flame out of my exhaust that can be seen during the day even and sounds like a gun shot i have gotten used to it though it kind of intimidates honda ricers i think

Ooofffff.............I don't really want to get into the middle of whatever that situation is. So what's the word then? No meet because it will be fist-fight resulting in a shooting death? I'm all for it but I need to make sure I get my concealed carry permit before then.
