keep in mind you will want to gap them to like .28 or .30...stock .44 is just not right for boost.

A couple days ago I read some where that the MSD BTM should not be set less than .6 degrees per LP. Change the setting to 1 degree per LB and see what happen. The timing might be too advanced. I don't have a MSD so I retarded mine from 16 to 8 degrees. I hope this help. Good luck!

Advanced timing wouldn't do that...too retarded timing would.
And i ran the hack without any BTM..it ran great and .5 seems fine...1 degree per boost is too much in my book.
