As of this afternoon, I've still not been able to find the notes I took from
my conversation with Colin about this ... I found the one with the preferred
timing specs and FI settings (10-12 degrees/8-10 ma @ idle) but not this one.
I'll keep looking but you may want to give him a call in the meantime.

All of the above is pretty common knowledge ... and true!  The timing bump
also works on my normally-aspirated '87 5000s as does the airbox mod I did
last weekend ... if anyone is interested in the details, please contact me.
