I need to retard my timing 4 degrees and I'm not sure on our cars.I know on older cars I've owned I adjusted it at the distributor.How do we adjust it on the cl ?

Adjust the coil packs,just like you would a distibutor. Nah J/K man. Its not adjustable in our cars. Its all computer controlled. I don't even think you can get it tuned on our cars.

Ha, I miss the days of adjusting my distributor cap with the hypnotic strobe light timing gun and getting small seizures from staring at it too long.

Using EManage Blue and a boomslang harness. Pretty sure you can also do it with the FIC too.

It's all electronic - and you need to understand that adjusting your timing accommodates Nitrous but screws you on the daily haul. It's silly to run a shot big enough that timing adjustment is required on a daily driver. Keep it under 75 dude.

75 is what I want out of it,well to start with anyway.But my instructions say I should run 4 degress of retard at 75.And it also said 2 degress retard for anything under that.Also I need the plugs,witch are on the way along witha 2 new short lines and nozzle.Then if I go 100 or more I should get a high flow fuel pump.
If the instuctions say say 4 degress I'm sure you can get away with 2 fine,,but you should give it some retard,besides it will help you not destroy your motor from what I've been reading. I just need to know my options are to be able to adjust the timing or what ever else I could adjust for the cheapest price.Adjustabilty is everything these days. But money's low these days too.

For 4* of timing, the ECU should automatically pull it for you, no need for a piggyback for that.

Did they include the fuel line T splitter to allow you to tie into the fuel? - I didn't see that in the picture either. The guys at ZEX were very helpful when I called about replacement nozzles, and got me parts pretty quick.

Remember this isn't a pushrod engine with a cam you can swing 30 degrees - there's already some overlap in the J32. With under a 75 shot, the stock ECU should be able to take care of your needs fine.
