Default Easy Timing Mod

Just wondering if anybody on here has tried the mod to the ignition controller by jumping pins 18 and 19 in order to modify the engine timing?

Anybody have any good results?
What do you think about adjusting the timing on red blocks?

the mod in question:

* By grounding pin 18 you will get -3° (retard).

* By grounding pin 19 you will get -6° (retard).

* By grounding pin 18 and 19 you will get +3° (advance).

Are you trying to make up for more boost? Otherwise, why are you messing with the timing?

I want to change the torque curve to be at the lower RPM range. I don't take y car on the highway often but am in a lot of stop and go traffic, so I have room to sift it back a little.
