"Here's the dyno graph where small changes (3-4 degrees) in the timing resulted
in significant torque changes:"

Read again! That's an actual 911 3.2 dyno graph which shows the effect of 'pushing' the
timing on ANY 911 whether stock or non-stock, i.e. it doesn't matter. The key point
is how significant changes in timing affect torque and how just a few degrees more
advance causes major torque improvements ('performance' tuning). That's the point!

The OP purpose wasn't to show what absolute 'performance' a 911 3.2 could produce,
but only how timing affects torque. Any 911 3.2 owner would discover the same results
with their stock or non-stock engine when run on a dyno by tweaking the timing a few
degrees over stock or non-stock. Obviously there's a limit to that, e.g. pinging, and
detonation, and how much additional octane is required to safely operate there.
Sorry most don't understand that after over 200 posts.

Did that many fail high school reading comprehension?
