just retarded my dizzy with 2 deg (at 14 now) on D16Z6 and ...
 
^^^ and the car runs a lot slower ... I'm having a hard time going up to 120 MPH now, while before it was no problem ... but now I spin tires easily
did not have any problems with the stock 16 deg setting, but wanted to be safe (my only car)

did I retarded it too much or it's OK ?

my setup is:
GReddy 15G at 5 psi
2.5" pipping with 6" FMIC and BOV
stock exhaust

should I leave it at 14, or go to 15 ...
any help is highly appreciated
thanks

It's fine how it is, obviously it's gonna be a little slower. I think you main problem is that stock exhaust.

I'm working on it :) ... it's gonna be a 3" with highflow cat :)

do you think that at 2 deg I'm loosing too much ? ... should I put it on 1 deg retard (at 15) ?

what ecu/fuel mgmt you using. does it change the timing at all? ie: retard it under boost. if so you might be ok where you were.
