Yes its easier to answer some questions after reading what Lance has to say. I've learned a bunch from hours of reading his docs and posts.

I am trying - I am good with physical stuff but the timing stuff confuses me so I hope everyone can bear with me.

NP, we've all been there.

OK, so i looked at the export .vex file and it doesn't correlate to the spreadsheet, i.e. an advance of 30 KPA at 800 RPM is 31 degrees doesn't equal a similar value in the .vex files.
Thanks,

Patrick

Hey, I thought I would help you out and added the conditional statements for the boosted area. You meant the max the angle should retard to should be half the 100 kpa angle, correct?

blueman803 - right, the amount of retard in timing shouldn't be more that 1/2 of the ignition advance at 100 KPA.

I'll download your sheet and check it out.

Thanks for contributing!
