You went 9.24 actually maybe a 9.4 9.3? beforehand, you defiantly went 9.24 the night I was there swapping tunes, it's written in my thread but if you are prepared to run advance on the dizzy and have no other mods 16-18 degrees is good. I wouldn't do it myself since it's not ideal but it works well

edit: it was on the 1-1-10 you ran 9.24, if you want to check your time slips for that 9.2, I'm sure it will be there, I reckon that's about as fast as it went before you got the stall converter

there is more to a tune than just changing spark timing. does twisting the dizzy have any effect on the fuel maps? no. do any form of engine work and your idea of just twisting the dizzy will do more harm that good. simple fact is your car runs faster with greenfoams tune so no need to go spreading lies about his tunes doing nothing when there are plenty of people on here that would prove you wrong.

low vs, I will add, if you do choose to advance the dizzy rather than do the tune. If the car is the VS HSV? then don't advance it to 16-18 degrees, the HSV tune already runs more advance, 14 degrees would be about right on the HSV tune. But those things don't run lean cruise by defualt (the HSV's) and the gearbox on a VS is all electronic so there's plenty more you can do to those aside from timing, just depends what you want
