I'm gonna get technical and say "it's related in a way since if you advance your timing then a basic rule is to run higher octane fuel"

So ive heard the safest amount to advance the timing is around +7 degrees or so, and u must use 91.

2-3 max if you wanna feel better, but it won't do much. And to add to the previous info, higher octane in a relatively stock KA24DE might actually hurt your car, timing advance or not, if your ignition system has a hard time igniting the fuel mixture (higher octane = harder to light).

I also failed to mention a free HP gain. If you advance your timing you will gain an additional 10HP, that is at the equivelant of 4% of the engines resource. I belive it is only safe to advance the timing 13 degress clock wise to achive this additional power. You must also run the car on supreme 91+ octane, engines run hotter when advancing the timing due to the TDC factor.
