on lower octane fuel 20 degrees will probably be too much advance. Get a set of DET earphones, start at about 14 degrees advance and work your way up until you start getting det, then back it off a bit.

well if its running fine I would leave it your performance will drop as soon as you start retarding the timing.

if your worried about the octane levels look at using an octane booster.
