Does anybody know how many degrees of adjustment are built into the IP flange?

Not sure what you are saying:
Your 603 :...what is the timing set up in degs (start of injection/ RIV deg) on your car?
Well back to my questions:
At a stock engine (with everything stock and within spec) would you
advance timing by 2/3 degrees? and for what reasons?
