TST adjustible timing, do it or not?

[Blacksdieselhp]

I sent my tst in for the latest version of the twins program a few months ago and also told them to add the adjustible timing. But for some reason the timing didn't get added. I was thinking about getting the timing upgrade when I send it in for the pressure upgrade. Is it worth it or not? I really don't want to just make big #'s on the dyno, I want power on the street. Can you tell a lot of difference?

Yes it is definitely worth it. You can fine tune with any stack you may be using within a short period of time and have a workable stack when previously the same stack didn't work well.

I need some clarification too...



On a non-user adjustable TST timing box, the timing changes are automatic and vary based on what the ECM sees plus what is programmed in the TST, correct?



So on the user adjustable TST box you can set a certain timing level that WILL NOT dynamically change such as for the 12-valve trucks?



Are any pictures that show what the adjustable timing box display looks like?

Its the same display. Itr just allows you to advance the timing 12 deg.

The adjustable timing feature has two different options: Automatic and Manual. The automatic setting works just like the normal program, but the user can adjust the timing from 0-18deg. The manual setting lets the user set a timing advance value that does not change with boost. It is very useful for fine tuning different stacks



If you are going to send it in, get the adjustable power program feature also which gives you all 3 TST programs in one box There is no hardware change needed for these upgrades, it is just a re-flash of your box/remote.
