Spark timing has to be done through the computer

Correct, the only way to change the stock timing curve is to modify it with a tuning software such as HP Tuners or EFI Live.

Its really worth having the software, Ive had a full dyno tune and still own the hp tuners for making small changes ! I went to the track last night and picked up 4 mph just from upping my shift points.
