REV LIMITS
The Controller allows you to program two rev limits; one for an over-rev safety and another that
provides a low limit for use as a launch, or two step limit.
revLaunch This is the low rpm limit that is designed to be used while staged at the starting
line. It is activated when the Blue wire is connected to 12 volts. When there is
no 12 volts on this wire, the High Rev Limit is active. It is adjustable in 100 rpm
increments from 2,000 - 12,500 rpm.
revMax This is the high, or over-rev rpm limit. It is active whenever the Blue wire (RevLO)
is not connected to 12 volts. It is adjustable in 100 rpm increments from 2,000 -
12,500 rpm.
STEP RETARD
A step retard will provide an adjustable amount of retard at a specific moment. This is ideal when
using nitrous oxide. The amount of retard is adjustable from 0° - 15° in 1° increments. The retard is
activated when the Pink wire is switched to 12 volts. Default is 10°.
TIMING SOURCE
This adjustment allows you to select a timing curve. The 6-Mod lets you run a Built-In default curve
that can easily be modified by using the RPM Table chart. On engines using the factory EFI you can
select OEM Advance or OEM Retard to use the factory ECU’s timing map.
Built-in: This is a general timing curve that is designed to work well with most stock
type engines. This chart is shown in the RPM Table and MAP Table charts.
These can easily be modified by clicking and dragging on the dots, or by
adding a dot (right click) and saving to the ignition.
OEM advance: This selection is used with a factory EFI equipped engine. The 6-Mod will use
the factory ECU’s timing curve. By using the OEM Timing Mod option below,
the entire timing curve will be advanced the amount you set.
OEM retard: This selection is used with a factory EFI equipped engine. The 6-Mod will use
the factory ECU’s timing curve. By using the OEM Timing Mod option below,
the entire timing curve will be retarded the amount you set.
OEM TIMING MOD
This option is available only when running the factory ECU’s timing curve on EFI equipped engines
(Selected as OEM Advance or Retard). Here you set the total amount of advance or retard for the
factory timing curve. The default is 0°.
OEMtimingmod: Adjustable from 0° - 10°.
