Beefing up timing...

From doing some quick searching I hear 24L and 16T is the magic number. But I don't hear anything about fuel requirements for those settings? Or power gains.

What tye of gains can one expect from bumping the timing up that much? And will it require 91+ octane to make the motor happy with the timing that advanced? Will this greatly effect idle as well?

Thanks

it helps. idle will only be raised a little so just lower it from the carb. you'll notice the peppiness from raising the timing instantly hahaha

That explains how, just not what type of gains to expect or fuel is necessary.
