I wouldn't change the timing too much but I did get better results on the canned tunes by moving it up to .25 then to .5 degrees. I probably could have gone further but I decided not to.
Jack, my truck is almost the opposite of yours. Before I got my programmer, my truck had a slightly uneven idle. The tunes and advanced idle cleared it up. Ha, that just seems strange to me.
Just shows how different trucks are like different people. No two will ever be exactly alike. But, I agree, it's kinda weird how they could be "opposite". I should probably try bumping the timing again now that I have custom tunes. Possibly, I'd get different, and better results.
