    be careful, too much timing and you'll
    overheat the internals, cause detonation
    and if run long enough cause enough heat
    to drop a valve seat....

    how will you know you've made a change in the correct direction...

    JMO the ignition isn't going to make 2 hp of difference either way
    twin cams respond to full packaged changes, you are piece mealing it together
    and in the end may end up with a bunch of parts that don't work well
    as a team.

    You'd be better off to find a proven package of parts if necessary
    buy them over time, sell the car parts you don't use, raise the capital
    if necessary, or like I said build up inventory of the parts and build
    a proven engine, otherwise you'll be spending good money for bad
    stuff.

    What I'm saying is that it's a part of the whole deal,
    it won't hurt and if you are buying parts up to put together a final
    package over time, that's cool,

    However don't expect to put it on and have some remarkable
    massive power change.. Like the +4 it's a little bit here, a little there
    together they add up.

    Just run the correct curve and don't go for the most advanced
    curve

    I do have a friend in Miami who's mantra is that stock
    is best.... His two baggers, one evo, one twincam 01 have well over
    180,00 and 150,000 miles respectfully....

    Nothing on the bikes are not stock HD parts, although some
    are used parts (from me and others) just sent him the old 97 EFI
    fuel injectors for his 01 as it's injectors are possibly taking a dump
    they are similar but not the same, so we'll see how it does,

    This is exactly what it is that I am doing. Piecing things together over time and without tearing the engine apart just yet. Never did I say that I was looking for HUGE power gains from this ignition. I do however remember stating that it was on my "TO BUY" list for my 98" upgrade....:D
