Not sure on total advance. I don't have he adjustable timing light. 91 is the top here, and I put in octane booster too. I have not been able to afford an exhaust upgrade yet.

if you look in google and type "crank degree wheel", and then goto images, you will find some nice printable ones, you can then verify TDC in a number of ways (my crank pully is within measurable tolerances of correctness), mark that on your pulley if it is different from the stock mark, then place the printed and cutout degree wheel on the front pulley, mark 36deg on the pulley with a file and then a dab of white paint, then you can use your basic timing light to nail 36 degrees advance and also find out at what rpm you peak. It really isnt a bad job and the 36 deg mark comes in handy for the future.
