I would say the answer is yes, so start with a known curve and play from there.
I have bumped mine up very slowly after some experimentation and feedback from others.

If you advance the timing too much, you can cause detonation which will destroy your topend.

the standard curve on the EPIC is a great starting point
if you want pointers specific to your motor chris is happy to give advice too
what motor do you have?

nobody wants a retarded motor lol in the epic thread waxhead posted a really good curve I believe it was 32* static off the bat then falls off around 4500 or so.

if you have to ask that question, you shouldn't mess with it. if xmetal sent you a tune it's prolly pretty close to being dialed in.

You may just be getting mixed up in your terminology. To tame down a curve, you are not retarding it, just not advancing it as far. Static timing is something like 21deg.
For istance, in my tamed down surf curve, I cap my timing advance at 25deg, where my strong curve goes as high as 32deg.
I have my own terminology lol, so for this thread let's use the terminology retarding

How does anyone learn anything if they don't ask any questions? Gotta start somewhere.
Thank you, there isn't any sort of guide with the program regarding what to or what not to do, I dont want to harm my engine I do want to have fun with the epics capabilities, some guidelines would be nice on what to do and what not to do

Just play with it, you will know when you went to far, just listen to the motor & see how it feels.... I wouldn't go any further than 34-35 advance... Have fun with it

I can only talk for my engines , but if you run the stock epic curve up on one of my setups you are likely to detonate your engine. I want the timing out alot sooner than on the stock epic curve. I also want the timing in alot sooner as well to make the engine come alive. This is on 98 octane we have in australia, I dont know what you are running in the usa but i believe its less octane than we have.
I would definetly order a cable when you order your ignition

Aussie 98 is the same or just about the same as US 93.

Ok cool. what is the highest octane you guys have over there
He is going to blow it up following the trend. They always run best right before death.
