You will get pinging if you advance it and you will loose gas mileage and power if you slow it.

What is the difference between advanced and retarded timing?
Advanced timing is when the spark plug fires AFTER Top Dead Center, retarded timing is when it fires BEFORE TDC.
What does vtec stand for?
Variable Timing Electronic Control. Meaning the timing is advanced/retarded electronically by the computer when needed ie. you stomp on the gas pedal and the timing changes to compensate.
Would advanced or retarded timing cause intake backfire?
yes, backfiring is always due to ignition or timing problems. Backfiring through the carb can be a symptom of a lean condition.
Why do neon's backfire?
If any car backfires it is usually due to retarded timing, running lean or a problem in the valve train.
Can you give a sentence with the word advanced?
I was advanced in my homework last week.The timing has advanced on my car's engine. It's no longer running correctly.
Why advance fire is important in four stroke petrol engine?
It isn't a necessity to have an advanced fire timing but it can help if you want to run engines at higher ends but you can suffer power at the lower ends. It's important to time your ignition between retard and advance, but it depends on the application you are running the engine on. Passenger cars should run a little retarded timing or at tdc (top dead center) because the engine can warm up a bit faster if the engine runs retarded. Older cars use something like a vacuum timing system so they can run retarded and the vacuum from the intake manifold can turn the ignition coil slightly advanced to have a better power curve. Motorcycles should run a bit advanced so they don't run lean at top ends. And since the engine is considered small, they have enough response time to allow advanced timing while having enough low end power.
Why is your 92 F150 5.0 backfiring through carburetor?
A backfire is caused by many different things. Using the wrong grade fuel will cause a backfire, as the engine's compression ratio is usually too high and will detonate the Air/Fuel mixture, causing a backfire. It can also be caused by advanced or retarded timing. Advanced timing will cause a backfire through the intake, as the spark occurs too early and ignites the Air/Fuel mixture before the intake valve is closed. Retarded timing causes a backfire through the exhaust as the spark occurs after the exhaust valve has opened. Your problem seems to be advanced timing. A backfire is caused by many different things.

How do you read timing gun?
Pulses of light blink every time the cylinder which the timing gun is hooked up to fires. Typically, a timing gun is hooked up to cylinder #1. When that cylinder fires, a pulse of light occurs. The timing gun it to be aimed at a marking on the front of the engine, usually the harmonic balancer. By looking at the mark, you can determine how advanced (ahead) or retarded (behind) the engine is running. This is usually measured in degrees.
Why will my car not idling properly after I changed the timing belt?
Probably your timing belt is a tooth off either retarded or advanced. Any more than a tooth, and it won't run at all and possible bent valves. Recheck timing marks and or timing holes that line up with special tools or etc.
Why does your 87 camaro keep running when you turn the key off?
in most cases the term keeps running means it spits sputters and pings till it complete shuts down. this is a symptom of the timing be retarded to much. i would suggest checking you timing remember to disconnect the computer control to the distributer before checking the timing, not the power wire the other. if the car actually is running with the ignition off the the ignition switch is bad.
What would happen if timing on a 1993 Chevy 350 is advanced?
If it is advanced to far, It will be hard to start when engine is hot and when it is running it will ping and rattle and could even burn a piston. The timing on that year should be set at ZERO at top dead center.
What is retarded timing?
Your timing is to far before top dead center you need to advance it turn the distributer foreward.
