even if you dont see and increase in fuel economy, its definatly worth doing.
im going to try for 25 btdc soon but i just need to wait for my mechanic mate to bring his tools so we can hear when it pinks

I'll bet you know but I'll say it anyway: watch for heat, for spark wear, and other possible problems when you advance that much... that's what I have read about and bee warned about. I may have to carefully test these changes sometime. I might go for 16 BTDC and then test FE against stock 12 BTDC. ...maybe someday... my hands full now.
