any adverse affects of raising the timing?
any adverse affects of raising the timing? any adverse effects of raising the half throttle to idle timing up a few degrees. wont that help with gas mileage and power or is it a trade off one or the other?

Back when I had my GTP, I bumped timing up in the cells that were relative to highway driving and did notice a jump in fuel economy. Gotta love a heavily modded Grand Prix knock'n out 30-32 MPG at 80 MPH. I'd guess that the same affect would be had in part throttle situations so long as KR isn't present.

well i bumped all my timing cells 2-3 degrees where i am not in boost and it feels more powerful on the highway especially when my converter actually locks up. i havent logged it yet but i will definitely post my results.i did notice higher idle in open loop, but not too high
