o.0 You do realize that ignition happens just slightly before TDC right? At the rates pistons are traveling, a few milliseconds is critical - like the few milliseconds it takes for the event to complete. Ignite early so max pressure is at TDC or as close to as possible (just not before). That would apply unless you've retarded your timing somewhere below 0 degrees - yikes, would that run with no guts....
