Default Spark Dwell

Does anyone have information on spark dwell? The help files are not very helpful. Is there power to be had by changing the spark dwell time table?

Any links, info exc. would be greatly appreciated.

This is the saturation time on the coils I would not mess with this if you don't know what your doing. You should not have to mess with these unless you are running big boost and are having trouble with your ignition. Denso says you can run the coils @ 6 ms and motec says 7 ms in racing applications but this will kill the life of your coils I don't think I would run them much higher than stock 4-5 ms unless you don't mind buying coils every now and then. If its not broke don't fix it !

Thanks for the help.

I read over at HPT's board that you could adjust dwell time and pick up power.
