The timing on the other had at wot never changes when you spin the dist., only the idle timing is changed. I have got conflicting answers with calling them mult times, but I keep in the back of my mind if i am talking to a sales man or a tech guy and take it with a grain of salt.

I want to the dragstrip andit was like 30 deg and the car was running way lean to the point that it was bucking down the strip so I increased the pressure 10 psi and it went away and ran consistant 10's after that. THis year we are puting a procharger on it so I will be switching to a xfi system or something like it.

I understand the fuel pressure regulator it was the cheating part I didn't get! Obviously up the pressure will affect the A/F, but never considered it cheating.

And the above is why I never use an EFI system that I don't tune myself. The tune and quality thereof is the key to a good EFI system, so these "closed" systems that can't be tweaked by the end-user do not appeal to me.
