Continuing ignition timing debate from the 416 thread.

I look at it like this, instead of thinking about how much power was gained by accessing the 1-2-3%, what happens at peak torque on something with a very narrow tuning window (pump gas, boost, cast iron heads for example) and you’re 1-2-3% wrong in the other direction? That goes badly very quick and it pays to get it right.
I think the point is how much is this really applicable to the average gear head ?
