This lack of pickup is natural for a multivalve small displacement
motor. Learn to drive around :) Try launching the car at about 2800 when
you wanna drive it hard, but don't just sidestep the clutch...... As for
setting the timing, you should keep it stock on a 16v car which is 6 +-1
degree if I remember right. If you don't you will start to wonder why
the car feels shitty until you wind it out.... Another thing is, when
setting the timing the idle mixture (DPR current) and DIS duty cycle
should be set too as all three of these correspond to each other. Good
luck dude.
