7afe advance timing, anyone do it? Options

[NYp8tBaller07]

Ive heard about people changing to an advanced timing and that it helps a little bit. It seems there no cons to it so im thinking of doing it.
Has anyone done this? how hard was it to do? pros/cons?

Also do you have to run higher fuel?

I know the NA (1st gen) Miata crowd bumps their timing from 10* to 14* BTDC. Not sure if the same can be done for a 7A, but it'd be interesting to see if it yields any usable results.

yes you can move it up quite a bit. just run 91 or better gas. its really impressive how good the 7A-FE responds to it

What would you recommend? I should technically be changing my timing belt around 100k anyway, and I'm at 96,6xx. As far as I know, drops gas mileage by a few points but pretty much creates a bit more power and "pep" across the rev range?

is there any how to for this?

he said to rotate the dissy up. does he mean toward the firewall or toward the light, just want to be sure.

I'm pretty sure he means to turn the dizzy toward the firewall..... but a timing light used to check it will tell you for sure..... make a change, Check it. Reset your bridges up... check it. etc.... a quick google search on how to do it exactly with a 7a may prove to find something different on the jumper pins in the diag port.

i did mine up to 15* didnt notice much honestly, but it will make a very little gain in power.
