Taking the time to work with your engine on a dynamometer is a terrific advantage especially when you're trying to dial-in retard stages and cylinder-to-cylinder timing. This programmer has two control dials that provide instant editing of the cylinder-to-cylinder timing, step retards and the start retard values in 0.1� increments. When a change is made it is instantly encoded within the MSD unit and stays in effect until another change is made to that specific program.
