Default spark advance/diablo predator???

I have a diablo predator, which has the latest performance tune. Today I was messing around with it and wondering what the actual spark advance was because I have heard that 13 degrees is the best for GT's running 91 octane. When going to the actual setting for the spark advance there was a settting for 0 and then the arrrow looked like it was on the 6th notch to the right from 0 degree (10 degrees stock), does that mean it's at 16 degrees advance?

Are you talking about advancing your timing with the Predator or with a timing adjuster? I was kind of unsure of what your were talking about, you referred to a pred but then talked about notches which sounds like a timing adjuster. If its an adjuster..throw it in the trash.

Your right, my question wasn't very clear. Sorry. I'm talking about the predator and not a timing adjuster.

The spark in your car changes constantly. I would make sure you know what your doing before changing it. I don't use Diablo so I am of no help..sorry.

Im pretty sure when you advance the timing on the predator it advances by a % and not a whole #. So lets say 10 is stock, you advance it by 3 it would be at 10.3. Check on that before you mess with it.

I think your right about the percentages rather than whole numbers. I don't have enough experience to start messing with this stuff so maybe I'll just leave it alone.
