Guess what, I bought a stupid MSD box! Help me set my timing!
I got an MSD box for cheap, no sense in dumping the cash on a bipes when I'm going MS shortly anyways.
From what I've read, it pulls 6deg of timing at max. I'm on a mostly stock GReddy kit right now at ~5psi and 6deg base timing. Since this MSD box pulls 6 total, would it be safe to bump up base to 12 rather than 10? |
yep.
there's nothign wrong with it....it works, you just dont have adjustability. |

Fill out your sig with your current setup. Offhand, I'd say with no IC, you should probably stick with 12* pulling 6*. If you've got an IC and can keep the boost down to 5-6psi, then I think you could get away with 14* base. I'm running a Bipes, 14*base, pulling 8* @12psi boost. It was 94*F here in VaBch today and I drove the shit out of it. No knock, nothing on the oil pressure needle. You should be fine at 12*. |
I could knock running the msd, 13 deg with an intercooler and 93 octane at 9 PSI or so. Figure my intercooled 9 psi to be appx the same IAT as non intercooled 5 PSI.
Every car is a bit different. Try it and see. 10-12 should be possible. |
