  Should your friends combination be spark advance sensitive those "couple
  extra degrees" of timing could lead to increased KS response and slow you
  down at the same time. Use a Scantool and monitor the result. Give the 
engine
  what IT WANTS , rather than what YOU WANT. Works every time!
  Apples to apples, a 20 BHP increase could be a stretch , everything else 
remaining
  equal. Free advice is worth exactly what it COST, IMHO.
