I was feeling so virtuous after setting my Digifant 2.1 to the stock timing
setting.  I unhooked the TS2, and while throttling to between 2000K and
2500K RPM, set the notch for the case seam.  It was previously set to the
left (retarded?) about 1.5 inches.

Now the van has very little power off the line and just seems lethargic.
I've searched the archives, and it seems that some folks like to run their
timing setting a little bit before TDC for more power.

So what are some people's opinions?  I'm probably going to set it back to
the left, since it drove with more gusto before, but I don't want to cause
preignition and kill the engine early.  For those who have set theirs
different from stock, what works well?  I don't have a fancy timing light,
so if you could recommend a distance from the notch, that would be most helpful.

Thanks for any help,
