Well my timing adjustment finally happened yesterday....
I had 5 to 7 degrees retard compared to TDC .... DAMN.. no wonder my car was sluggish and had a weird power curve
I not put it directly on the mark and I got a brand new car :) It's alot more powerful than it was...

Congrats enjoy the extra power. See if you can get another dyno. Just a curosity other than an EFI swap what other mods do you have.

I got those engine mods
- DC ceramic header
- JG engine dynamics Camshaft
- MSD Blaster coil 3
- MSD SCI
- Cold Air Intake
- Performance Muffler
There are alot of other things that I want to add but I'll keep my mouth, I hate that "Future Mods" plan... but in the next weeks I want to get an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and an adjustable cam gear.

To adjust the timing, you need a special device called a timing light. You aim it at the flywheel and turn the distributor according to the timing mark on the flywheel..
It is well described in the Haynes manual
