dont touch your base timing, just dial out detonation with the btm.

Ditch the hack and BTM. You will have 101 problems. I had the same motor as you and had an incredible amount of problems. From fouled plugs, to misfiring, to complete stalls, oh and the support for it SUCKS. Go with a setup from Xenocron.

STFU and die. I sent him a pm that better explains my opinions. I couldnt reach any of my goals because I wasted my money on a hack and btm. Plain and simple.
