Dyno Before & After 17 Degree Timing Advance

2002 Maxima 6 Speed (Mods in signature):

Finally got the dyno done today after I changed the timing from 15 degrees to 17 degrees using Cipher. Not much change in PEAK numbers (gained 4 ft-lbs on peak and HP stayed the same) BUT if you look at the midrange I picked up 10hp & 12 ft-lbs at 4100rpm over the last dyno.....torque increased some on the lower end too. I know I felt something!!

Nice man, I bumped mine to 17 on my old 03 but it was after i dyno'd it so i never got the chance to see what it did but i noticed the throttle response seemed better.

I thought 5.5 gens didn't hold the timing advance. It would retard itself after a few cycles making the 00-01's more successful in this field.

Thats not true...it will hold from 13 to 17 degrees of timing. Stock is 15.

You can advance and retard timing with the Solus, but no, it will not stick. My friend tried to do it when he demoed the Solus last winter. It wouldn't stay no matter what we did.

How exactly do you ask a mechanic to advance your timing? Seems like no one has a clue as to what i'm talking about, and the ones that know are strongly against it. Where should i go to get this done?
