Need help with Electronic Ignition
I didn't see that statement in the the MoparChat thread but I do appologize for accusing you of making the statement.
In any case the MoparChat beat all around the topic and a couple of people did mention it. It's the lack of dwell time at high rpm that I mentioned is what is going on, not pulling timing out.
If you look at the mopar performance catalog each of these ECUs are rated for a max rpm. If you always opperate below the rated rpm range then you are fine. The FBO box is rated to 8800 rpm. The site is not specific about the internals and it does say it's a drop in for the mopar unit so I am going to assume it operates on the same principle. That being the case if you never shift you street mopar above 5000 rpm you are not going to see any advantage to the FBO box.
