That is why I am against simply advancing the timing across the board. True performance ignition tuning should be done with an advance curve. Something that will retard the timing at starting and idle RPM's, and then advance and/or retard the timing based on engine RPM.
Without a doubt, I would not mess with advancing the timing or other performance mods without some sort of oil cooler to help keep engine temps in check. The stock engine already struggles with controlling heat as it is.
