UGH Please help with timing my SUPERCHARGER URGENT

I haven't had anything to eat today (can't go anywhere when I am scared my engine will EXPLODE) and I can't get it right. I have an accel timing management....I kicked it with my foot and now my engine runs kinda rough. I don't want to roast my engine so someone tell me what to set an old ball drive paxton at. FOR THE LOVE OF *** ! I"M STARVING

Unless your fueling and compression ratio are modified from stock you should definately run STOCK 6 degrees BTDC..

you need to remove that msd box and get a msd btm because it will retard timing per pound of boost the one you have will advance timing.

or retard depending on how you set your initial. We used to put them all the wat to the 15, set our timing, then use it to retard when we used nos.

After playing with the '749 for a while now, I bring my advance out to max, then don't take ANY out under boost. After peak torque, I add 3 degrees.

SO from 2800 - 4500 26d, then 29d up to 6500


I find this makes more power, and is easier to manage than:

add timing in ve
subtract for mat
add under pe
subtract for btm

BLAH!
