Better Megajolt Map

Dear all - I am running the standard supplied mega jolt map on my 5.0 Landy v8 on and Eddie 600 and performed manifold and stage "3" heads. Does anybody else have a better map- I run mainly 97-99 octane and a 10.2-10.4 CR - want to reconfigure this afternoon - if no maps available any general tips at all??

Bite the bullet and stick it on a rolling road.

I know your right mate, but I will have to change the wheels (too knobbly apparently) and just wondered if I could look at somebody else's map I could see how they optimised it beyond the standard - think more advance in the mid range when under low to moderate load may help

I've run the dakar on a dyno twice now - i run 35" general grabber mud terains.

Awesome! Where was that? My peviously local rolling road in northants said they wanted me on road tyres. I am now in Birmingham - any body know a good 4 wheel RR here that knows mega jolt and carbs? Did you see a lot of transmission loss with those tyres?

Would be interested to find out who you use,

Dyno was Marlin Motors in Bletchley. Perry organises dyno days there from time to time.

Would be interested in bletchley for sure, Martyn's what are you running that in? What stage of tune mate? We should meet up and compare notes!

Hi,
Not sure how to post photographs on here but have had my car tuned today and uploaded a magajolt map and dyno results on my blog if that is any use to you,

What's the offset at the trigger? Ie, how much do you add to those figures to get the true timing relative to TDC, if at all?

Hi,
Bear with me, lack of knowledge !
The tuner told me it was reading 24 degrees using a strobe light and the megajolt system showed 12 degrees and he mentioned something about a wasted spark system you have to half it (or something similiar) but i do recall reading this somewhere,

The all out advance looks very conservative to me, so I'd guess you'd have to add the trigger offset to it for the true reading.
Wasted spark should show the same as sequential using a timing light - but some posh lights - the dial in advance ones - can get confused by it. I had to go back to my old one to get any reading at all.
