no, you have to have a tune file written, unless you have your own software. Either way, it's a pricy thing. It cost me about $800 to get my intial tune done because i had to buy a $400 tuner. To do it myself, would have cost me about $800, because i would have had to buy the tuner, and then tuning software, and then pray i didn't blow my car up. Now to tune on the dyno is only about $400, howver justin at vmp does remote tunes for much cheaper.

faaaawwwwwwwkkkkkk!

How would you suggest he check the timing ?

you can call the psychic hotline for all I give a shit. That advice would be just as good as telling you to adjust your distributer that you also don't have right? Now I never mentioned psychics either until this post but I guess its safe to assume anything is possible now.

So lets keep this circle of beating the horse going.

me - check the timing
you - you can't adust the timing
me- oh crap I had no idea that modulars could not adjust timing
you- its done through a tune but I am just saying you can't go through the dist
me - ok great glad you straightened g36 out since he mentioned the dist?
then I got to do the same lap with G36 while you were gone - again not sure why since I have never told anyone here today to adjust their dist.......
and then you "There is options to advance the timing a bit without actually getting a custom tune with an SCT Xcal

Im pretty sure I had the option to advance total timing up to 4 degrees and there was the option to advance timing from 0-2k rpms 2k-4k rpms and 4-6k rpms I believe as well.

Also, the xcals come with generic 93 octane tunes which obviously already have the timing advanced.

I wouldnt waste the money on a custom tune unless you have more than bolt on."
and then you come right back to the dist question for some reason only you and god know...

I don't do laps anymore.

You can get a Steeda manual timing adjuster for a 4.6 also.

Lol you make me laugh. I thought you were being sarcastic when you said that like there was some easy way to adjust the timing on the mod motors.
