I guess affordability is a relative term but for me half the fun is getting performance for pennies on the dollar. Split Second has a pretty good little piggyback, the FTC1, & a version hardwired for contemporary Porsche 6's... Boxster included. It definitely does timing. ($525 new). Someone gave me one from a Miata, I could probably make work but...

A seemingly knowledgeable performance guy here (somewhere) steered me to the Perfect Power SMT6. He implied it would do it all...better than the split Second. The manual is a little pigeon englishee which caused me to question if I could tweak the timing, but I'm now pretty sure I can. They show up on Ebay every month or so and go for about $150 ($425 new).

You would think, but then theres the 11:1 comp. ratio.

I go to a 76 station and fill the tank with about 3 gallons 100 oct., the rest 91. Then fill up a 4 gallon tank in my trunks. About $8/gal.

$64 for 5 gals. VP MS 109 is pretty sweet. Course I'd burn up the savings getting out there to pick it up.

When is Fontana? It would be fun to see what you've got cooking.
