The stock 98 PCM pulls three degrees if IAT is above 55 C and MAP is above 90 kPa.

That's without changing it in the PCM. You can pull whatever you want if you set it in the PCM.

And there's a table that can be done in in HP Tuners? I think?

I was hoping to be able to pull more than 3* without buying a tuner... Right now all I have is an autotap to see where my timing is. and wanted to run 150 shot... what would be my cheapest option to pull more than 3*?

Running a 150 shot would be safest on a dynotune. Im sure tuning cost money, but probally cheaper than replacing a engine.

So that makes the resistor mod the wrong way to do it?
