you need some kinda of igniotion retarding control non the less get a standalone or something, no piggy back **** please )

when u boost, you need to retard your ig timing for several reasons, yes it decreases a few ponies but its make ur engine happy, liek .75 degree retard per pound of boost. helps pre-det, detonation, knock and that affiliatted things.

like wade said

the MSD BTM retards ur ignition timming /per pdn of boost..

before ur engine sees boost it runs normally, once it boosts, this ignition will start retardign ur ignition to avoid detonation

bit off topic here...but if you use a VAFC vs. an SAFC will it advance timing despite the use of a BTM?
