Everything is reading crystal clear everyone!

I see what you guys are saying. A quick test would be for me to strobe the damn thing, but i lent out my strobe and,well, bye bye.

Re-reading the limited info on readspeed site it doesn't make this point clear at all, yet SULK does suggest that it does indeed advance the timing. And trust me Coaster, you already know more than I about this! haha.

That said, I would still love to try a kheper in the future simply for the fact that its programmable, which for me makes it probably the best unit out there, if you feel confident enough to set it up properly.

Whatever your opinion I have to say it is so important to establish your precise TDC and strobe your timing and note the degree of advance right up to maximum rpm.

We were both right Ollie and you won't need a Sonic Screwdriver to do the adjustments 8-) )

It involves the system missing one spark and using that missed spark for the next spark.
As coaster said it's not possible to make something happen before it has but it's possible to hold on to the spark till the next firing point.
In a way its actually retarding the ignition long enough to use the spark on an advanced position on the next revolution so it's not doing what a time lord could and if was a 2 stroke rider probably would ;)

I've had a hard day at work so if what I've said makes no sense I'll opologise now lol
That's definitely witchcraft.
