Do I need a boost/ignition retard with a supercharger?

HMUSN · August 27th, 2008, 10:27 PM

your boost retard is your right foot bro.
all you need if fuel upgrades and a tune.

cybertech · August 27th, 2008, 11:47 PM

What exactly do they do when they tune it?

You either need BTM or a custom tune.

What is BTM? I am more for N/A but this is coming around at a good price so should hold me over untill i build my engine.

boost timing module (BTM). Allows you to pull degrees of timing per pound of boost.

MSD-6AL-BTM <-- google search
