    Just received my DTT yesterday and I am just starting to read up on it. There is a "Mode" selection. Are they asking if I want Single Fire or Dual Fire?

    Ok, the ignition is installed and I am doing a little test and tuning. As of now, I have the ignition set at 5 initial and 8 advance. On this setting I do notice a slight change. What would happen if I set it a 6 initial and 5 advance?

    Moon would go out of orbit, small kids will run screaming, women will take their tops off, flash ya as you ride by, coffee will smell better, flowers will bloom brighter, HR will be seriously impresses with your manliness, obama will resign, CB will get rid of his Iphone for a simple rotary dial party line....

    I just got back from about a 100 mile ride with the wife. I didn't lose one 1/10 of mpg. I like that. I think that I am sitting still with messing with the ignition for now. Actually, I think that I may have gained some mileage. Wife not being on the back and all? :cool:

    Basically you want to get as much timing as you can without
    inducing heat and detonation. In that you can't really tell that
    without good monitoring equipment understand that you can do damage
    by going to far.

    Buddy kept telling me his 113 felt doggish with the curve it was designed
    for, and changed the curve, unknown to me, it created massive heat
    that we think probably caused the valve seats to loosen and drop, twice
    and he'd get a little detonation from time to time. He had it on full advance
    not good.

    I just ordered one so that I can help insure that nobama resigns, the other stuff will just be icing on the cake, so to speak.
