I'll be honest, not quite sure the full science behind it either so guess we'll see it works well or not lol. Mines not boosted but it's got some good cam behind it so it should be happy or not happy. I've used the sniper timing before on a 318 with there hall effects distributor and rotor in that isn't that wide so think it'll work, especially with the later style distributor that's meant for the different style of timing control
