not to be that guy, but i never had any problems with advancing the timing in my old turd gen tbi car. disconnect the ESC wire or whatever it was called, bump it up some, plug back in , run it down the road, see if it pings or not, Gtech it (it was accurate!) and see what if i'd improve or not. i think i was 10 or 12 degrees advanced and it was a different machine than when it was set to stock

im sure its different than a tpi car, but this was my personal experience with it. same thing goes with a 93 dodge caravan i used to have. lol hondas couldnt hang
