This the advice I got from TSI over the phone, someone correct me if it sounds 
wrong.  With ~10:1 compression ratio, you can run up to 35 degrees of advance 
at speed.  The curve should start to climb rapidly as you come on the cam, or 
you can set it up so that you get most of the advance as the cam starts to 
kick in.

With that said the most advance I have seen in a dizzy is 23 degrees.  Anyone 
else have any ideas or thoughts?
