It changes the time that fuel is injected into the cylinder (in degrees of crank rotation).

First you have to find out where yours is at and then advance it. One degree is not worth the trouble and you will feel no difference. It requires a special set of tools to accomplish this.

16,5° and everyone is happy... right ?

but to tell you something incredible, i fooled a buddy of mine to set his timing to 18,5° and his truck is completely stock other than removing his fuel plate and cranking the starwheel... and his truck is still holding up after 20.000km

18.5 isn't a big deal, just really dont see much fuel mpg over 16.5 and also begins to start alil harder. Which is why 16-16.5 is where all the street trucks stick to. Now competition is a different story. I'm shooting for 24 and my buds 3.0 truck has 32.5
