My headers are glowing at idle, while
reving it, and all the time! My timing was set at 38 deg when the motor was first started.
After I had the haltech dfi installed we rechecked it and it was 38 deg again. Well last week
at the track after a run I noticed my headers were glowing. So i shut it off checked the
timing and it was at 30! I was very confused. I then checked it on the haltech dfi and it
said 38 at 3000 and the dampner said 30 at 3000 so now I am lost. I then changed it
mechanicaly to 38 deg by turning the dist. and read the haltech dfi it still says 38. I then
lock the timing at 10 deg and the dampner says 13-15 deg I then turn the dist untill it
says 10 deg and recheck it again with the timing lock off and it says 10. Then while
reving it to 3000 again the haltech says 38 and the dampner says 30-31. And no matter
what I do the headers are still glowing no matter what I do. I am about to toss this
whole haltech **** in the garbage and go buy an accel dfi and just pay someone to
tune it. I am tired of trying diff things and wasting hours and tons of money on the dyno.
My last trip was a 3 hour dyno session!!!! and at 150.00 an hour I could have bought a
diff unit and had it tuned months ago and been done with it... Sorry for venting I am just
tired of it and I might miss another shootout. Any help would be great right now, thank you...
