Timing Advance?

[titan814]

ok maybe someone can help me with this. i am under the assumption that the TITAN's on board computer resets itself every 100 miles or so. or at least this is what my dealer tells me. so if this is true wouldnt the timing advance be reset a short time after changed? i am interested in this mod but i dont want to spend the $ if in 100 miles it was wasted..

Do a search for more details. I made a lengthy post about 1-2 weeks ago on this subject. Find "tbs and +2 timing"

No, it (the on board computer) will not reset the Modified initial timing advance. It is a permanent Mod. It changes the starting point of timing from 15 to 17 degrees BTDC. It takes about 100-200 miles of driving for the ECU to learn changes in your driving style for how it controls Throttle/Fuel etc. The advance is not directly affected by this.

If you want full benefit, you must drive aggressive or ECU will give milder response. Response is given back by a bit of aggresive driving again, say 100-200 miles.

Disconnecting battery a long time (many hours) may erase it, conflicting reports exist on this.

Go ahead and get it, hopefully 50 bucks or less if you know someone with the Cipher as I have. Better throttle reponse is best attribute of the Mod, about 6 HP increase possible.
