Is there anything you can use to control the timing without going into the pcm?

 

you can retarded timing with an AEM FIC.

 

How hard is it to hook up?

 

j/w but isn't it better to advance the timing rather then making it retarded????

 

nitrous, more boost. retard timming....

 

the fic is a piggy back setup.

why spend the money on that, when you can get hpt for 509 bucks, and damn near full reign of the computer?

 

That's not necessarily true.

Just because you have forced induction doesn't mean you have to retard timing. It's a countermeasure incase there is some type of pre-ignition / detonation occuring.

This also depends on the stock ignition timing and the type of engine this is on.

Basically I'm saying it's more of a trial and error thing.

umm yeah, what he said

 

nope. cant mess with the timing on these cars w/o getting into your ecu, or using a piggyback that tricks the ecu.

 

he asked why would you retard the timing, so i gave some ifs and mights...

 

were could one find the hpt

I have a gm stage 3 pcm, so there is no way to get into it, im running a 50 shot, but I wanted to build the motor and run a 100 wet shot, but I herd you had to retard the timing. So that aem fic will or will not work?

I thought they made something that is plug and play like a MAFT that will control timing?

 

he said he dident want to touch the PCM this the FIC idea.

 

oh ok gotcha.

Wasn't meant as an attack, just took it in the wrong context.

 

So the AEM FIC should work?

 

lets back up a second here

what are you trying to achieve?

 

Im trying to find something that will control the timing for the a gm stage 3 pcm, because I want to up the shot from a 50 dry shot, to maybe a 75-100 wet shot, after I get pistons.

 

okie dokie. gotcha
