not hard to change the curve.there is a plug in the housing you can remove and reach inside with needle nose and bend the 2 tabs on the advance plate.or you can access the whole thing from the top by removing a few screws and a snap ring.and the one i have the advance is all in by 2200.im running 18 initial and 34 total.no ping....oh yeah its done by trial and error,but not difficult.
