Default Adjusted my FQS today- man what a difference!

when i first bought the car much like everyone else, i was tinkering with everything trying to squeeze some more power out of it. One thing i did was printed out this chart and adjusted my fuel quality switch to a different setting to richen/ retard it up alittle. After a few years of driving it im used to the feel of the idle and how it runs which has always been very good. I started thinking about that switch again the other day and it made me think if i had it set wrong all this time. I pulled the ps carpet up and pulled the ecu out and set the switch back to 0/0 the stock setting and man what a difference in throttle response!!! She seems to just swing that tach right up there now! ITs not a big hp deal or even a huge improvement but i could tell the difference in the response. ANyone else ever mess w/ their FQS???? HEres the chart.

Yeah, Wilk has the chart posted too. If you aren't having problems with pinging, leave it at 0. Retarding the ignition timing just ~3 deg. makes a noticeable difference! I actually have a different ECU in my car now, so I should probably check where mine is at!
