The tech who did it said that my timing was originally at 12 degrees - not sure if I believe that On hearing that news I was expecting a whole new car - but I didn't feel too much on the short drive home. I'll have to test it out more tomorrow. Maybe it's just too hot here right now - the temp is over 100, and the humidity is bad. My car was already feeling slower - maybe I'll feel it better when it cools down next week
