Ok, I run Total timing on my car. I have it set at 35 and the car has no problems. When My friends find out, they go crazy. My timing was set by a Mustang Shop. I didn't know anything about that except that you waste more fuel.

My friends will read this......So what are the advantage's of total timing. And what the difference with the spout on. Will I get more power with the spout off or on?

Is there a HP gain to all this.

Like I said, My car runs strong but I would like some suggestions from more experience Mustang PRO's.
