Default Cipher Timing Adjustments?

Will adding the 2 degrees of timing provide any benefits?

My car is primarily used for a DD and occasional track car at Pacific Raceways, I have not had a chance to finish my exhaust upgrades yet so I am still running stock cats and only a replica dual exhaust... Hopefully ill be getting a TDX2 and HFCs when my suspension is where I want it.

As far as other engine mods I only Have a Stillen Suction kit and will be installing a Plenum spacer when I get back stateside in a few more weeks.

I used to work on circle track race cars but a distributor and carb are different animals and I have not dove to deep in the Electronic things yet. But Im trying to start and have gone through SparkleCity's thread and the sources he listed and am just trying to get more information when using cipher before I get a full tune when modifications have been "finished"

So... Would adding the 2deg of timing and doing a fuel relearn after installing the spacer provide any benefit on 92 fuel?

Buying an Osiris license so you can remove the throttle restriction and correct the A/F ratio will do much more for you.. just bumping the timing a little won't do much

Best thing you can do it's to TRY it !
Only 92 octane gasoline IMHO is little low anyway to use very "aggressive" timings...

Thanks For the Tips Guys, I'll most likely try it and see what I come up with on the logs or may just get a full tune next month.

Cheers

Before tuning my car was running very lean, 14.5 or so at full throttle. All I had was test pipes, aftermarket Y and a pop charger... Any attempt to increase timing would have been pointless (and possibly disastrous). Don't play around, just get a tune.
