If the timing is retarded due to cam and crank timing, the answer is YES. If it is due to distributor or ignition timing NO. Compression is produced mechanically when all the valves are closed during the compression stroke of the piston. If all is well (rings and valves), you should achieve optimal compression from the engine. Almost all gasoline engines require a least 80 psi to fire the cylinder.
