Is it worth getting a (Steeda) timing adjuster?

Going to be installing some used Steeda u/d pulleys soon and I'm wondering if, while I'm in there, I should get a timing adjuster too. Would it be worth it? Does advancing timing past the stock 10 degrees mean you need to run higher octane fuel?

i have one and no.

honestly, it depdends on your future plans... if you plan on a blower or anything like that, than dont get it.

full bolt ons and you'll never turn a bolt again, go ahead and get it and bump it up a little.

id sell you mine for cheep if i could remove it from my crank, but thats a long story. mines not for sale. lol.


keep in mind it moves your crank positioning sensor from your block (where its protected) to be external.

yah, I was wondering how "safe" the sensor was after relocation... I'm thinkin' I probably wont bother with getting one and I'll just install the u/d pulleys sooner rather than waiting to get the timing adjuster. Thanks for your input.
