Right now I have my timing set at 32 degrees adv. I have heard that the ECU will only allow the timing to advanced to 24 degrees? Is this true?

well i have trickflow twisted wedge heads and Trickflow stage 1 cam and the instructions on the heads say to run the TOTAL timing at 32 to 34 degrees timing. Is there a difference between regular timing and total timing?

Yes, the PCM adds timing based on load, altitude, rpm and throttle position. My A9P will get up to 50* BTDC under light load conditions.

Good Luck, Don
