For auto conversions using traditional ignition systems, this is pretty cool. CB performance makes a "Black Box" that allows the user full control over their ignition advance. At $200 bucks, it would be a worthy investment. Link: www.cbperformance.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=2013The software looks the same as what I am running on my digital secondary. Had this been available when I was putting the new FWF package together, I would have used this with a low height secondary and saved hours of design and fabrication. Why mess with it? Lots of reasons. Starting, smoothness, fuel savings and of course power. From what I have read from many sources, a properly advanced ignition can save quite a bit of fuel. I have heard the Lycoming guys say that they are burning between 1-2gph less in cruise. Not sure if that number directly translates, but it they burn 10gph in cruise and we burn 5, I think its save to say that you could save at least .5gph in cruise. If you are interested in it but are not sure about the programing, I would be happy to put together a few curves and help anyone through the setup. As usual, you are buying it for an "off road vehicle". No, I don't get a spiff for pitching CB. I am blacklisted from their sales system because I own a scary airplane.
