Default Power Wire

I know it has been talked about here, and there are some people herewho have one on their truck. I would just like to get some info and feedback on the power wire.

What do the people who have one installed think of it? Does advancing the timing have any potential to do ANYkind of internal harm to the top end? Would the engine 'gurus' out there recommend installing one or not? Upside, downside, pros, cons, etc.

Thanks in advance.

I have been modifiying cars and trucks for years, On my old small block chevy that was something I did alot, find the timing which was going to give me the most power. as long as it stays reasonable on the timming and you dont get any detonation you are fine. if you get detonation (which sounds like marbles bouncing around in the engine) put higher octane gas in it. if that dont get rid of it then turn the timing down a little till it goes away.
