100 shot on a bolt on tune.

Hey guys so i running a bolt on tune in my car and decided to add a 100 wet shot. Now i have no idea what the timing is set at i did try to contact the person who did the mail tune to no avail. Anyhow i set the twister to pull 6* the car didnt feel right so then i tried 5. felt better should i pull 4* ? I changed my plugs to br7 yesterday if that matters.

Plugs will tell the true story.

I would say 4* should be still on the safe side.

I would not adjust the timing based on "feel".

If you are not going to pull the plugs I would not add any more timing.

I'm in the exact same boat. No clue if the timing was changed or not, and if it was, to what degree. I got the HSW Interface controller, and looking at the manual, it looks like the max it will pull is 3 degrees. I'm hoping that will put me back to stock timing, or maybe a degree or 2 below. I know a 100 shot is perfectly fine on stock timing.

Graham, what exactly would you look for when inspecting the plugs?

doesnt the strap also show the timing? I thought the strap showed too much/little timing and the color(metal heatsoak) shows the hot/cold of the plug? still learning here
