indeed, on older/not clever ignition systems (e.g. k-jet, carb) using good fuel you can run more than the factory 6 degrees advance, which will increase the cars performance.  However try this on a Digifant 8v and you wont get far.  This is because the ECU automatically advances the ignition as far as possible, untill it detects knocking/pinking :)

wrong about what?  Everything you said was correct when talking about a 16v ;)
