Default MSD Timing twister? MAP sensor boost retard

Did any of you guys see this new product from MSD?

http://www.msdignition.com/new_produ...ngtwister.html

Reminds me of the days of the 6BTM on a mustang. You can dial in a retard of .1 to 1.9 per pound of boost. Do you think it has it's merits or is just better to set a timing table based on RPM?

EFI Live has a timing retard vs boost table in COS5. Most folks are using tuning options to control those variables.

Do you one better. Go to efilive.com and you can download the software for free. Load up COS5 and look under the custom tables A0010 for the boost timing table....plus a bunch more for boost.

I've used it for a year with a 3bar sd tune and 17psi....great tuning system for boost.
