Edge and Octane adjustments
A while back I found a thread that explained how to change the timing on the Edge Evolution. I think ASEMechanic posted it. Now I cant find it.
All i need to know is what the guideline is on changing the "Timing Adv." field. I'm using the Tow (89 octane) setting and filling up with 92 octane. How do I adjust the timing so i benefit from using the 92 on the Tow setting or 92 on the Performance setting?

Roughly 1 degree per 2 octane.
Level 3 (basically 91 octane tune) running 93 = +1 deg.
Level 2 (basically 87 octane tune) running 93 = +3 deg.
These are ideal values at sea level. At altitude, you should be able to add another degree per 2500 ft.
5000 ft. = +2 deg.
Just so you know, I can run level 3, +3 deg at 4500 ft with 91 octane. 4 to 4.5 degrees gets me a nice rattle on heavy throttle tip-in (low RPM throttle stomp) but actually drives quite nicely on the highway giving me another +.25 to +.5 MPG at 70 MPH versus +3 degrees timing.
