    I hooked up the Autotap earlier today to read what my Ignition Timing is. I know stock is 15.5 to 16.5 butit should be set to about 19 to 20 at WOT when tuned. My timing locked in at 17 at WOT. I did 3 WOT runs from different speeds and everytime it locked into 17. At idle the car would lock into 20 though.

    When I gave Will at Overkill my mod list I told him I would have my mods in my sig plus a front plog and 3.5" pulley. I thought I sent him the updated list but I had forgot. So my car should be running a little rich right now but its not too much to worry about.

    I also know that every degree your timing is off you lose about 5-8hp. So am I back 3 degrees of timing from 20 so I'm losing like 15-24hp?

    KR was 0 through the whole powerband starting at any speed.

    I'm just getting into messing with this Autotap, so bare with me. Thanks.
