Default Is the timing tricker worth it ?

I just got a good deal on a pro race fogger and all of my stuff is slowy coming together. Do you think it would be a better way to go with a timing tricker so i don't have to mess with my timing file. And when it's not armed the timing will be fine on motor instead of having all that timing out.Give me some input on how some of you deal with your timing. thanks

i used it and got nothing on the motor. if you're spraying i would not use it,it could cause problems.

So the timing tricker doesn't work. So whats the best way to tune your timing on the bottle. Were should i be taking timing out of the motor on edit? I don't think the whole file should have 6 or 8 degrees taken out. i'm guessing on how much timing should come out .

Ramchargers sells the LS1 Timing Tuner for around 280. It works very well. It has mulitple functions for timing control. The features I like concerning spray are the:

1. Adjustable timing retard (up to 12* of retard)
2. Activation delay - time based (adjustable from .0 to .8 secs)
3. Activation delay - RPM based (also adjustable)
4. Adjustable cut off RPM (usually 100 RPM before rev limit)

Well worth the cash for the safety it provides. I'm very happy with mine.
