Re: Programmable HEI

programmed via bluetooth. Looks like you can actually see it in live time and make changes. I'm especially interested in what it does for idle. Looks like it will adjust the timing when you load it putting it in gear Also like the lock-out anti-theft feature. Basically disables the ignition. The main reason I'm getting it is I want more initial timing but total with advance limited to 32 at the most. HEI dist aren't the most friendly trying to limit total advance and like most mine has 22 degrees built in due to the center plate and weights configuration. Currently running 10 initial and 32 total. Running say 16 initial with 32 total would allow the throttle plates to be closed more, showing less of the transfer circuit in the carb. This is all because of the overlap of my cam.

Interesting. They aren't cheap but if the quality is there it would be worth it.

I hope so. I spoke to them about heat and was assured that they use high temp rated components and have had no heat related failures so far. Looks like they have been around about a year now. Couldn't find to many reviews on them, but as we all know, most people only share when they have problems not when everything works well. As far as the cost, I was comparing it to adding timing control to an EFI System and its pretty comparable. And timing control with the EFI systems pretty much does the same as this unit. They are timing only maps and do not relate to AFR.
