The low end torque provided by running your timing more advanced will amaze you. the BTM allows you to compensate by retarding more per psi of boost. This also allows you to have in-the-cabin control over your high-boost timing, which allows you to get the most out of atmospheric conditions and gas quality.
I suggest a MSD # 5462. This is a retard computer that uses your OEM ignition. Best $160 i spent on this car. Goes very well with slightly modified APC & 3Bar FPR, but i find myself running 16psi, because my clutch (New OEM) can't handle more power (nor can my tires). Fuel economy is improved because the more advanced timing is more efficient.
