If I get knock after that, I can reduce where necessary in the advance table but I can continue to add timing in other areas. It's clear as day the next time I do the same where I should not add any more timing and where I can. This would not be the case on the base table, unless you have a very good memory or note it down. In my eyes, adjusting the advance table is the easy solution. Once you get to the stage where you are happy, you can always adjust the base table and flatten the advance table again, or have it how you like.

yes that method would wotk fine, i just worry about guys pulling 2 or 3 degrees out of the knock advance table and leaving little in it for the ecu to work with
