Methanol Cam Tuning

I dont have the exact #'s but a guy at my track had a Nissan NX on methanol and cut mid-10's with his timing advanced.

Apparently they heard a rumor that retarding your timing on methanol runs faster times and the guy cut a mid 9 the next day. with the retarded timing/

Can any one either prove or disprove this???

 

does the engine still run?

 

Yeah its not street legal though

 

lol
