Default Advanced Timing
Has anyone tried loosening the distributor bolt and turning the distributor on any kind of vehicle before and advancing the timing?

I was curious if it makes a difference or is it pretty miniscal? I know if done wrong its good bye engine but was wondering if done right is it worth it?

5.4 plus are not gappable. And you don't have a dizzy.timing is done through a programmer
