Hijacking? No its all good, sounds like a good combo, overkill if your only looking for 650rwhp your E.T. will depend on your vehical weight. When I wanted to first start up my car I couldn't figure out why my laptop wouldn't talk to the msd, being in a hurry and wanted to hear it run I threw in the #6 pill... it fired up and then I couldn't wait to test drive it.. that was a mistake, didn't get one mile on the motor and detonated the #2 piston, so dont do that anyway. After another motor install I learned to to get my laptop to talk to the msd, what worked was the 40 dollar usb connector from radio shack, I have tried others ( cheap ebay, staples , ect) but they didn't work.
I cant figure out how to copy and paste a pic of my timing curve but I will try to explain it. My "RPM timing curve" starts at 15 degrees and is a straight line at 15 degrees all away across through all rpm.
My "MAP advanced curve" starts at 15 degrees and is straight till 13psia, 13psia is 0 vacum 0 psi, as an example when the motor is off and ignition is on with the laptop hooked up 13psia is a real time measurement on my car with my 2bar MAP sensor. For the skeptics this # should be 14.7 psig but this is just how far off my MAP sensor is or the atmosphere pressure at my location. From 13psia it ramps down to 0 degrees at 23.00psia witch would = 10psi of boost, from there is a straight line across at 0 degrees.
To sum this up when my motor is running at ideal I have 30 degrees of timing till it hits 13psia or 0psi, from there its pulling 1.5 degrees per lb of boost till 10lbs of boost, at that psi the timing just stays at 15 degrees. This will be the least amount of timing I will run till I get into mid 20"s lbs of boost.
This is my starting tune for 10lbs of boost, it should be plenty safe for E85, this next friday will be the first time at the track with this new set up, if your running gasoline your timing curve would be different. After running a few passes and collecting some data this curve will be changed.
Another part you should seriously consider is adding some kind of data logger with a wide band. I'm trying a LM1 from innovate technologies with a RPM converter, it records AFR, RPM I set the rest of my channels up to also record MAP and fuel pressure and I have a couple open channels left. Doing some test runs on the road and recording them, the graphs show data that prove to be real helpful like were its lean at what rpm and what boost and the fuel pressure at that millisecond, these are things that you cannot possibly watch when your trying to run down the track.
