i will be putting my dis-4 back in, i took it out cause the dealership said that was causing problems (it wasent), anyways i need it to retard timing for happy juice, i was wondering

A: how do you advance timing with it?? i looked through the manual a million times and never saw anything for advancing timing, only retarding it..

B: whats the soft rev limiter?? i feel really clueless about something i have owned for 6 months smile
Hey man, you have to get a separate plug in module to advance timing...the box itself only retards it for boost/nitrous, etc..

Also, a soft rev limiter is a rev limiter that doesn't cut fuel off, causing the engine to stop and then start when it hits a hard rev limiter. The MSD box drops one cylinder at a time randomly to prevent the motor from revving higher, rather than shutting off the fuel...shutting off fuel under boost = VERY BAD. The resulting sound of the MSD dropping one cylinder at a time is the chatterbox sound...like when an outlaw car stages....
