Ignition advance question

I realize this may sound silly to those "in the know" but....

Looking at the posted chart of the VTR's stock ignition map (kindly provided by Rama), if I want to advance timing, do the numerical values go up or down. In other words, at a given TPS setting and RPM, if the number existing advance number is 35 degrees and I want to advance the timing by, say 2 degrees, will the number become 33 or 37?

Thanks in advance (no pun intended, lol)

cheers

thetophatflash is an unknown quantity at this point
Before top dead center is the measurement, therefore if you wanted to advance 2 degrees from your 35 would be 37.
