Ignition

[Trotter]

If I was going to only use my nitrous set up on the occasional weekend, would it be a good idea to get the MSD 6A with the Adjustable timing control? I don’t want to have to keep my car a few degrees retarded all the time so, do you know what I should do instead?

Re: Ignition

No, you'll need the MSD DIS 4 ignition control module. The MSD 6A and 6AL are only for distributor ignition systems.

Just FYI, I only lost 1.2 rwhp from my N/A tune to my nitrous tune. :)

Re: Ignition

thx for clearing that up. i've been searching and would the timing tuner from HSW be a good idea?

Re: Ignition

I dunno, I'll look into it and let ya know tomorrow. Gotta remember, our cars have distributorless ignition systems so we are limited to what kind of aftermarket ignition things we can upgrade to.

Can you provide a link to this timing tuner? I browsed HSW's website and found a couple of things, but I want to know exactly what you are looking at before I give you more info on it.

Re: Ignition

A 75 wet you won't have to worry to much about your timing yet. I ran the 75 shot on stock tune for a year.

That timing box wont work on your car, it is designed for an LS1. Lots of people run a stock tune and dont pull any timing for a 75 shot, but when I had my car tuned for an 80 shot the tuner pulled 2* of timing because I was getting some KR.

Now when you are ready for a 150, you will most definately need to pull some timing.

Re: Ignition

for ht cost of the DIS-4 you can get HPtuners and it won't leave you stranded on the highway

DSI-4 = big POS
