timing on 95

[junk racing]

I want to install my MSD programmable 6AL-2 with a programmed timing curve for boost. I have read where certain tuners will pull the spout set base timing to say 36 for example then retard the timing with a BTM or other timing devise. Has anyone ever dont this??? I plan on buying a fast XFI setup in the near future just wanting to pick up some more power until i finish my dart motor.

im not sure how they have my timing controlled right know, its got 20 lb pullies on it. Guess when i get it back running ill find out and make my decision then. Heres something i just read to go with what ive heard. Mike murillo actually is who told me about the spout trick....http://www.mustang50magazine.com/te...g_supercharged_1995_ford_mustang/viewall.html

I wouldn't ever run a BTM. Tune the car the right way the first time and don't screw around with stupid add ons.

its not a btm, It has a map sensor and you make a boost timing curve. If you have any expierience with a digital 7 programmable ignition its the exact same. I have made well over 1000 rwhp with this exact ignition box on my carbd blowthru malibu. Its fully programmable.

I've kinda heard of this. Taking the spout connector out will keep your computer from from making timing adjustments so that u can use your msd box to do all timing adjustments assuming your 6al-2 is fully programmable. Make sure your tuner knows what they r doing. I'm running a FAST XFI setup with a programmable digital 7 and on my FAST system setup, my digital 7 is zeroed out as far as timing goes, i do all fuel and timing through the FAST computer. What you're wanting to do can work but what about the fuel?

Yea I'm gonna buy the xfi for mine, that's what I put on my Malibu aswell.

any competent tuner will simply disable the BTM

the less connections the better

let the ecu yank timing based on boost, you and your engine will be much happier
