the timing is too much in these boxes, IMO. i run a one cause its the least amount of total timing.

i have some 9K and 11K RPM pills im gonna try to put in the box to try and alter the timing.

al the efi guys run 28 deg max, and the box has like 35 degrees in it.
not sure if its an EFI thing or not, but i wanna try and make my own timing pills for it so i dont have to start over and buy the new MSD box.

Interesting. I should try another chip to see the difference?

I think there is a new program out for the MSD carb kit... I will try and find it.

Curve 6 actually has the lowest total timing, around 32 degrees. It ramps up the quickest though, its all in by 1200 rpm.
