Default SCT timing points

In the spark advance /retard settings... how many degrees does 1 "point" represent? This could apply to the predator as well

My Xcal2 is in degrees. I think the predators are in %'s and 3% is 1 degree.

Also... on the SCT in the tune I have the timing is in the center.. at 0. The tune was suppose to be a 93 octane tune and I can tell the timing is bumped up cuz I heard spark knock on 87.

Is there any way of finding out how many total degrees of timing i'm running at.

I'm ordering a NX plate kit and plan on spraying 100 shot.. How much should I back it down.. also what should I do with my A/F/ richin it up a little to be safe?

Take off 2 degrees for a 100 shot, and get some NGK TR-6 plugs. Do you have an aftermarket fuel pump?

I'm running stock pump..

I put in a set of TR-6's already.. gapped them at about .032

Think I can get by on stock pump or should I just buy a focus pump. I seen where you was talking about your pump was at 80% think I could check my pump in a data log.. .I could also use some advice on how to do a data log.. I haven't tried it yet but would like to If you got the time sometime I'd really appreciate it.


Also on the degrees.. at what rpm ranges? all?

My SCT is in degrees as well. I'm not sure what I have it set on at the current moment. I'll check sometime and get back to you.
