I would say somewhere around 10. Although I don't know a ton about Honda motors 12 sounds high since, before my car was boosted, I had the timing set at 14. So yeah...I'd set it at 10.

yea 10 has been the most popular answer.. i got to go over here in a bit and put the throttle bodie on and start her up for the first time and set it.

Didnt jackson racing have a suggested setting for this? It seems like a logical thing to mention in set up instructions...

yea but thats just being for safety. Well we set it at 11. MY god its very nice. I drove it around all night. Very nice torque and all. Makes an awesome winning noise after 3,000 rpms and really pulls.

Yeah...the tuning specs that come with kits are usually on the cautious side since they can't possibly predict what parts you've already thrown at you motor so it's hard to just say "set it at 10 degrees and go". If you had a seriously built motor with higher compression that could totally fuck you. But I wonder...if Jackson uses Eaton's M45, I'd like to see what would happen if you could slap an M112 from a Lightning on there. Or even an M90 from a T-Bird Supercoupe/Cougar XR-7. That'd be sweet.

slap it on a dyno and find the perfect tuning. you'll be happy in the long run.

Well i dont know i took all mine off. So i can have more power. But i say it would. Yes i love it so much. just the wine that it makes after about 3K is so nice. I am going to go run it Tuesday in the quarter mile track.

Ummm...no. Your A/C only sucks power when it's on. Otherwise it's just a dummy pulley. And most '90s-later cars have a control to cut out the A/C compressor if you go to a certain amount of throttle. It does, however, remove a lot of weight.
