Well I bought a 99 cobra that has some mild work done but enough it wont run much on a stock tune any way I have worked around it all with the SCT Advantage 3. So I started looking at spark with the sc3 logging it the darn thing sucks lots of timing out of it when you start to tip in on the gas and when you shift the gears and I am talking as much as 20+ degrees at times. This makes the car sluggish and ill feeling down low and never really seems to rolls it back in.
The advantage 3 system tells you why it is done and I have done lots of reading as to why Ford does this and I can understand why it is also done. But it seems excessive to me, so there is a few spots that can be change setting tip in spark op. to all 0 says it will stop this well it might not it take as much but it is still pulling it way down so there is another op. that lets you set the minimum spark the ECM can run so I set it to 20 degrees and man what a difference any SCT people here know why I should not do this? Other then what the description says. Car runs fine, starts fine and all it just runs overall better when I do this. I dont have emissions so that dont matter.
I know that to much spark at idle can cause issues also but the car seems fine as of now.
