Anybody run these on a Twisted kit, what do u think worth the money, benefits, feedback, please elaborate. Thank U . Jeff

yup.... for the most part it is about chasing a higher boost number on pump gas.. or thats why i see people running them.I'm not a fan. top end power loss. Retarded timing means your putting the fire out..You are pushing more air but not maximizing your power... Why not just run lower boost and keep the timing in it? I love to hear guys say... I run 10-13 psi on pump gas with my timing module... I just laugh cause I know you can make the same power on 7-8 psi with no module.... And remember the faster that turbo spins and the more boost you run the more heat it creates.. can you say "reeds"...
I can see where a guy might want this if he is running crappy fuel to just be safe.....but Im not sure why else you would run one.....
I do have a good idea for one of these timing modules I'd like to try but its not what other people are using them for..... I wonder if anyone has tried it yet........
but it is my understanding, that essentially it allow u to run higher boost with lower octane, i'm running straight 100ll at 10 lbs of boost which wiil give you X amount of horsepower lets say 240 , but if you are running lower octane, say 91 octane at 8 lbs of boost your getting 210hp, they are retarding the timing at higher rpm so you don't get an octane code on the Det sensor, but ultimately you are only able to get so much Hp out of a given octane level and a given boost level which ultimately means you can get more psi of boost on a lower octane, but essentailly you are not gaining any HP just not getting a Det code, Octane is the limiting factor in regards to HP and boost let's just say on pump gas you are limited to about 210 HP to 220 HP, around 8 lbs of boost, on 100 ll you get about 230- 240 hp at about 10lbs of boost and about 260-270 hp on race gas at about 12-13 lbs of boost but ultimately Octane is the controlling factor. for ARGUMENT SAKE I'M REFERRING to a 800 cc motor
with a timing key, but I don't think I would be gaining anything, the limitations on the motor are 240hp at 10 lbs on 100ll and 260hp at 12lbs on racegas with my Twisted Extreme Turbo -- Garrett-2871-2
I'm not a fan. I tried both keys for fun on a race gas kit at 13 lbs at 7500-11k feet running 2 gallons of 110 in my M8. I felt that I lost power from low end to top end. I ran both the OVS and BD timing key's. With both keys I had the little wrench on the speedo come on multiple times. I went back to 4 gallons of race at 13 lbs and the sled was so much better all around.
The lack of performance made me happy to put another 2 gallons of race fuel in my sled each ride and be able to run it at stock timing.
Ski dooin it is also right in that it is hard to say anything works until it has been tested and proven but Im excited to try the idea above and brainstorm with ya all...........
Has anyone done this???????????
it allows you to run extra boost on pump gas without hitting the det sensor, or octane sensor for detonation, if you are running 100ll or race gas there isn't any gains in terms of power or performance
