Default Ignition timing retard

Thanks,

well usually on a stock internal fmu'd car at low boost, we just knock 2* off at the dizzy. but most use the MSD BTM. but now it is mainly in the e.m.s.

so there really is no need for a small device that would retard timing via boost pressure or over time that would connect to the distributor( doesnt matter if its hall or mag)

Not when you can socket a stock ECU and tune it with an application that is free or very inexpensive.
