timing question??

[00torchGT]

Heres the deal I have a timing adjuster and the predator, is it possible to advance the timing with both at the same time? because the predator advances by % and the timing adjuster advances by degrees, and Im not sure what % to advance I want somewhere around 16 degrees, does anyone know the percent on the predator for 16 degrees timing? thanks in advanced

As soon as you read this remove your timing adjuster asap.

The T/A is kinda junk. The predator is much more precise and adjusts the timing and fuel curve.

TA is junk , stick with the predator , I would call diablo and ask one of there techs how much % would be needed to acheive 16 degrees which by the way sounds a little high to me unless you are running 100 plus octane

One thing that people don't realize is that the predator leaves the idle/base timing alone, which is why it is better. The predator brings the timing up by RPM.

Alot of people don't know this and then it leads them to belive that the timing has not changed.

You can't use both!

Your diablo will come with a standard program with the timing advanced. The amount of timing advance depends on rpms that the motor is running. As rpms climb, the amount of timing is increased. Stock, the timing is set at 10. The diablo will probably max you out at 14 or 13.5 or something like that.

The adjustments that you can make are only a small fraction. By 10%, I believe they mean 10% of the difference between 10 and 14 degrees of advance. You will never be able to get the diablo to advance to 16 w/o returning it back to the factory and having a different program put on it.

The adjustments that the diablo allow you to make are soo small that it amounts to not much more than a gimmick.

If you advance your diablo by 10% and your tuner is set for 14 degrees, then your advance will now be 14.4%....that's it.

The predator runs the timming a he!! of alot higher than 13.5. Those values only matter when using a glorified tricker like the T/A.

The base timing stays at 10 degrees like I said earlier.
