Default MSD Timing

I was looking into come controles for my new set up that is in process, and i know timing is a huge variable in a turbocharged engine so i looked into some MSD timing controls. They have a lot of them, from manual adjusting (turning a screw on the MSD box) and computer controled ones (hook the MSD box up to your computer) I was wondering if anybody had any luck with something like these? And how good of an idea would it to get one? I was thinking one of thses because when i get the motor tuned w/o an MSD i cant change the timing at the track, i would have to bring it back to my tuner. I am just thinking in advance so i wont have many problems.

Here is the site of most to the timers:

Thanks for the help.

um if its for your 2000 computer controlled transam, you adjust the timing of your stock computer via tuning software like efi live, hpt or if standalone bs3
something like you listed wont work with your car to well.

Ditto on that. What you need to be done, can all be done with your main computer.
