My 90LX is ready fror some track time. I normaly run the timing at 12 degrees initial cause I have a superchip.

Alot of guys are running like 38 degrees of total timing with the spout connector removed and they say that the car runs better that way cause the ECU's timing tables suck.

Can I run total timing with the spout connector removed with the superchip? By removing the spout connector I am taking away the ECU's ability to control the timing right?

If anyone has positive or negative experience running an EFI 5.0 HO with total timing I would love to here it. Every little bit counts.

Thanks,
