MSD Brings Pro Stock Technology to the Street.

It was only a matter of time before MSD brought the technology of their Pro Stock ignition controls to the street, and that time is now! The new, Programmable 6AL-2 ignition control is based on the regular 6AL-2 but instead of the rotary dials for rpm adjustments, the Programmable 6AL-2 has a serial port that lets you connect it to your PC. Then, once you load the Windows based software into your PC, you’re ready to go. You can now lock out the mechanical advance in your distributor because with the Programmable 6AL-2 you can create a timing curve that controls timing down to one tenth of a degree! The timing control is so precise that you can ramp the timing in or retard it exactly at the rpm you want. Want to take more timing out? Just click the mouse and move a couple of dots. Need more high speed retard? Just click!
If your running forced induction the Programmable 6AL-2 enables you to map out a timing curve based on boost pressure. If you run nitrous, you can instantly retard the timing the moment the nitrous is activated! Most useful on the street is the ability to take out some timing during the launch to soften the hit on the tires, then ramp it back in as the run progresses and traction improves. You can also set three different rpm limits; one for the burnout, one for the launch, and finally a top end limit for overrev protection. So get the advantages of Pro Stock technology for your high performance street car today, and order your MSD Programmable 6AL-2 from Performance Parts!
