i don’t think locked timing is the best option. That’s where a box like Daytona comes in handy. With delayed starting, idle stabilazation, and custom curves. Don’t think it’s necessarily a good idea to have 36° of timing coming on plane. You can get defiemiely get a better tune to the engine with a custom setup

since they FUUKed me on a pair of ****ty starters, ( and you know the sheer joy involved in pulling engines from our boats) i'm on a one man mission to warn everyone about MSD. seriously , im no expert but my dyno guy was ever impressed at the versatility of the daytona boxes.

thats why I’m advocating the Daytona’s. I’m carbbed also. They helped my idle dramatically. The idle stabilization throws timing at it as needed to keep it above a certain rpm. Fun to watch on a timing light. I think they would perfect for you. Go to their site and you can check out the software and parameters. Really cool stuff.

I dont think there is an obsession with DUI rather just an OPTION for some builds. Over the years I've seen many stock GM hei in boats. Ya not cool but true nor coastguard approved. At the very least handy for troubleshooting.

Just my opinion, I went to the Daytona CD-1 boxes on my engines and would recommend them, I'm using the Mercury hall effect distributor and built my specific timing programs, idle stabilization, programed Rev limiters, running Procharged, Carbed engines. they are awesome and have preformed flawless for 4 years now. if I were you I would look into them and see if they will meet your needs.

reluctor wheel wasn't not attached to shaft
module failed
then 1 week the bushings let go,shaft was wobbling,then next week the other distr, lost its bushings and shat went up and wiped out distr. cap.
then another friend had them lose bushings and siezed up on brand new motors last year.
so good luck w/ them,,I'll stick to small cap hei's using only 2 wires to hook up and gm potted coils,,bullet proof.
