Default Timing Question

If let's say that 12 BTDC was the correct setting for my vette, what setting would give more power, less fuel economy and vise versa?

What do you other C3'ers have yours set at and feel that it runs well at?

Manual says to set at 12 BTDC and it feels right when driven but just curoius.

Default Re: Timing Question (Rich's75)

more advance will give it more bottom end. not sure how the L-82 motors react. the motor i built for my formula likes 16-18 degrees initial and 35*@2500 or so.
