Default BOOOOOOST! The retarded kind...

guess what fell on my foot while i was driving?

before i tell u....this truck used to be running 12 pounds of boost with a fully done up motor

the buddy i bought it from took the engine out and pretty much put it back too stock

well while i was driving. i hit a bump and lord behold aMSD boost retarder fell on my foot!

haha and its still hooked up!. granted it only moves the rpms about 100 but damn

i did not know that was there

any ideas as to what i should do with it

also what does this mean? could i have an msd ignition? boost timer ect.

If it's a BTM, then there is probably an MSD 6AL somwhere in the truck. A BTM is just to retard timing under boost, nothing you'd want to do under N/A circumstances. You want as much advance as you can get.

Yes! Every degree of retard is HP lost.
