Absolutely, the SC motors had different curves than the NA motors so you need to do some research on where the module came from.

Does the preset # of the module ONLY matter when setting base timing? When setting total advance timing, does the -24 or -14 matter? Just bring up the RPM's til you see it stop advancing and set it at 34 degrees?? Sound right?

It's a v8-24 unit from a 260hp 5.7L. I upgraded to vortech iron heads, performer rpm intake, 9.8:1 compression, the lt4 hot cam with roller rockers and a 650 demon carb, I was wondering how much timing this setup will want.

The V8-24 is at full advance around 3500-3700rpms.

Start at 32 degrees total advance and you can make small adjustments up from there. I doubt you will be able to run more than 36 degrees, and too much advance will cause detonation

With 9.8 compression you dont want too much advance. It also depends on if you want to run premium fuel all the time or not.
