FiTech EFI system

Hello 69 cuda. The biggest thing to note with the timing control statement...remember those guys are used to dealing with small block chevy (Hei).
Is there an advantage to an hei vs the fitech timing or vice versa? Not especislly. Is the fitech control better than an msd 6AL? No.
. BUT!, is ANYTHING better than the problematic oem chrysler ignition? You bet. Having raced and owned many mopars, any excuse to throw the ballast resistor and box in the trash is a good one. (In my opinion and experience) so where as the timing control may not be some super fancy ignition controller, its better than oem...which is good enough for most.

I'm finally going to chime in regarding the timing control function.

You need a distributor you can lock out. You ALSO NEED an adjustable rotor. If you want to know why you need an adjustable rotor, watch YouTube videos on rotor phasing.

The FiTech setup is the same as the MSD Atomic EFI setup. The MSD you set at 15° advanced, the FiTech is set at 10°. That is the only difference.

I don't understand why anyone wouldn't want to control timing. Different fuels, altitude, air temperature and anything that can change performance. You have the ability to change timing with the handheld. If your running nitrous, you have the advantage of it changeing your timing for you when you arm the N2O.

Could go on, but have to go to work and pay for my 600HP power adder setup I received yesterday!
