timing belt change - advance/or not

[Beatty, Robert]

Wont this interfere with the ECU's correct control of the mixture/spark
timing?  This is on a 5ktq not on a N/A 5cyl car.

Try 6-9 degrees first, then go down to 3 and try to find something in
between 
that works good for you. Remember your engine is an interference engine, so 
you have to be careful of that. I have mine set at 3-1/2 degrees retarded on

my 4kq cause the head is shaved so much. Also, when you move cam timing,
your 
only moving the powerband, not increasing it.
