msd opti timing adjust?

I've heard the screw should be two turns out? It came with loc tight on it and set at 1 1/2 roughly? Should i leave it alone or go with two turns?

I'd leave it at whatever the instructions say is zero. IMHO, the screw is only an opportunity to mess something up (for most people). Timing should be adjusted via the computer, where there is infinitely more control.

I think the adjustment screw is just to make the opti look like there is some special, when in fact almost all of the people who buy it should never adjust it. Plus it is a pain to adjust on the car! Take your time with the gasket and putting it back together. It was tough to get the cover perfectly even and not over tighten them.
