Re:Manifold glows red while running Rich??
 
I know uberdata would be better but he started this project before all the free fm programs were out, so he had the VAFC, and we're trying to keep it as cheap as possible at this point.
And I used the hack on my 91 hatch with a b16 and it worked great but I had someone burn me a chip with the ignition tables offset so they weren't Stupid and offset like the hack makes them. I know there are better ways but there are plentey of people that have got the hack to work with great results.
again thanks for the help so far.

Set the Distributer(sp) back to stock and put the BTM to 1 degree per lb of boost, that is still very conservative.

The EGT's must be rediculously high with that much retard :O

a BTM does nothing for the Hack's advance during transistion where most of the Hack's wrath takes place.

Retard base 3-4 degress and set the BTM to maybe .5 or 1 degree per PSI if you must stay with the Hack

you will be sluggish off-boost but thats just the price you pay for saving your pistons from some of the devastating effects of the Hack.
