Typically, you want to move the spark closer to TDC when you go with high compression pistons. I would check with with your engine builder to see what their recommended timing is and then customize your P-mags' configuration to match. (Check your data plate, the recommended timing might be on there.)

You can configure the P-mags with either the EICAD program, which you can download from the Emag website or with an EIC. You do not need the EIC to configure your P-mags, but it does make it easier and you can monitor your P-mags with the EIC, which you cannot do with the EICAD program.

Let me know, if you have any other questions.

Around the same time as the Moller Skycar.

You can configure the P-mags with either the EICAD program, which you can download from the Emag website or with an EIC. You do not need the EIC to configure your P-mags, but it does make it easier and you can monitor your P-mags with the EIC, which you cannot do with the EICAD program.

Thanks Bill!

And thank you JJ for the thread. I'm going to replace at least one of my Slick Mags with EI. Trying to make a more informed decision on which one.

Glad to hear you like your Emags.
