You don't really need it if you run 6-7 psi with 92 octane. If you run 9 psi and uses 93 octane you are still Okay. Plus if your climate is nice and cool and all, you are Okay.

Here in sucky Calif. we only have 91 octane and I live in a semi-desert place where temp. reaches 115*. So I dial 1 for every 3psi of boost.

just like MT said.

some people even have problems from using it. those problems go away when they remove it.

i have never used the (or any) timing retard module. i always run 92 octane and also ngk tr6 plugs (colder than stock). I have never had a problem with knock during summer or winter. (highs of 95 degrees)

don't worry about it.

If you did not get the timing retard module then check my site over real good to make sure you have everything else.

they may have forgotten to give you the oil pressure sender relocation elbow. if so it can be found at a good parts store that has brass npt fittings. just a couple of bucks. you want a nale to female 45 degree elbow. i forget the gauge but you can take out the pressure sender and take a second car to the parts store with the sender in hand. don't forget teflon thread tape for the sender and elbow threads.

Yep thanks, got er all done, only thing on the SC side that i have to do is get all the gauges hooked up. Then shift kit, gears, LSD, and some other loose ends. Test drove it in the parkling at school and its AWESOME! Start-up vid here: http://media.putfile.com/Picture-12649
