Engine Performance problem
1982 Toyota Tercel 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

Can I increase the output power of my car engine by adjusting ignition timing from 10 degrees to 12 degrees or 15 degrees?

No your timing has to be at the factory settings.
altering timeing specs will get you more power but only for a short time. this will damage engine.
