Side-effect of IP Timing

Last night I had my IP timed with an electric diesel timer.

It was reading 15 degrees when I started
- only smoke visable at night under heavy acceleration
- diecent power
- some engine shake at idle

Now its at 25.6 degrees
- wont idle cold
- slightly lower power then 15 but bairly noticeable
- almost no shake
- very very loud at idle and above 4000 RPM
- ALOT of smoke.

I have a mark where 15 was and a mark now so I'm going to play with it by hand and try around 20 degrees. I would think with the spec being 24 it should run better being 1.5 degree off rather then 9 but oh well.
