Question Timing Adjustment

I'm reading about people advancing there timing for more power. Is this true, if so can it cause engine damage?

Also I accidentally posted an engine question where I shouldn't have. Its regarding a sputter at 1100 rpm. No smoke, lots of power, and a sputter. I've had it timed, put in a #8 fueling plate. The folks at BD tell me its a factory deffect that all 94s and 95s have, is this true?

A factory deffect? What injectors are you running? I have a studder with mine at lower (1000 - 1400 ~) rpm if I get on it hard. But I know that is because of large 370 injectors and stock delivery valves.

Here is a link that explains the pro / cons of advancing your timing.

I'm running stock injectors, But the sputter is gettin' pretty bad, especially as the engine temp. climbs.
