initial timing

It only needs to match if you want the reporting on a Scan Tool to be correct. 
 As an example, I use to run a constant of 6deg in the PROM but yet have 
my base timing set at 10deg.  I always had to remember to add 4 degrees 
to my diacom runs when I was looking at the Spark Advance values.  The biggest 
thing to keep in mind is that you HAVE TO REMEMBER that you are actually 
running the delta advance/retard that you have dialed in even though you 
don't have it dialed into the EPROM.

Heh heh.  You'll get lots of answers on this one :-)  IMHO - I believe that 
if you are hitting 90+% Duty Cycles at max RPMs at WOT then you should *consider* 
a swap.  If you are at 95-100% DCs at max RPMs at WOT then I would bypass 
the 'consider swap' and just swap them.
