i think the steeda adjuster can do it, or just pour in some race fuel.

112? $8 a gallon? leaded fuel i am guessing. mixing it depends how much fuel you are mixing it with. i usually run a little over 1/4 tank at the strip, when i add race fuel i run 5 gallons.

No offense, but since the car is computer controlled you are better off getting a handheld tuner to do this.
I believe the steeda timing adjuster is specifically for changing mechanical timing, not firing of the cops. Since we do not use a distrubitor on our cars, i dont think it will be worth the money.

Its unleaded. A friend buys 55 gallon drums for 8 a gallon and sells it to me for that price. So pretty much a galf gallon of 112 to every one gallon of 93? And I can shoot a 125. Hope you guys are right lol. Ill find out in a few weeks

No it uses the crank trigger to advance and retard ignition timing. It will work for what he wants. Just make sure and pull out the bolts holding the wheel on and put loc-tite on em so they won't back out with engine vibration.

The Steeda adjuster only allows adjustment of the base timing, the equivalent of resetting the Global Spark Adder in the tune. All other timing considerations will remain based on load, ect, iat, air flow, etc. and controlled by the PCM/tune. I.e. all timing curves stay the same, just offset up or down overall according to how much the crank position sensor has been moved by the Steeda adjuster. Exactly the same thing can be done with a tuner, without even getting your hands dirty.
If you call Steeda and ask they will tell you it is not needed or even desirable if you have a tuner.

I'm trying to do it without a tuner. I think the race fuel will serve the purpose I'm tryin to accomplish

A tuner is the best way to adjust the timing properly. I would be scared to mess with anything else.

yeah... im kinda tight for money and like you said.. you would only do a nitrous tune with widebands so like 300 or so plus 150 for widebands i cant afford that much right now.. i would love to do it that way and shoot a 150... see if i could take the car 11.50s or so..
