Yeah i’m familiar with all MSD has to offer but I was hoping there was something out there that you could easily adjust your timing so that you could just set it before a nitrous run at the track and then set it back for daily driving. I wouldn’t reprogram my stock ECU I was hoping there was an easy piggyback option but maybe not.
