The timing all depends on the quality of fuel. In many cases, you can add a degree or two without problem, especially if you are at altitude. Just make sure to listen for any signs of detonation, particularly at low RPM/high load conditions where detonation usually occurs. If you stomp the throttle from a dead stop and get any rattling/detonation, then you have too much timing and need to back off the timing until the rattle stops... and then back off 1 more degree to allow for temperature fluctuations.
Obviously, this is not the best method to go adjusting timing but if you decide to make minor adjustments it is the best you can do. Take care.

How in the heck did I miss the post about belt slippage?
 It's interesting, when I first got Bill's custom tunes and had a reason to do a WOT shift (during a passing maneuver) I heard the squeak and thought it was something in the transmission, not the serpentine belt in the engine! I had never heard this squeak using the canned tunes that were in the Edge before it was upgraded to a Gryphon. At first, I was kind of worried, but then decided maybe things were OK (since Bill wrote the tune and "he MUST know what he was doing").  - Jack |

I upgraded to a Goodyear Gatorback, but still have belt slippage. It may not be quite as bad, but not a lot better. Any ideas why?

As Bill's post stated..it's kind of the nature of the beast with the setup....the slippage is usually above 5k at WOT anyways. Alot of people I have talked to have said the gatorback belt cured it and the same said it didn't so I am not gonna mess with it.

I'm not gonna worry about it.....not that big a deal.
Maybe my truck makes more power than those others and it's too much for that Gatorback to harness
