Is there anything I can add to my 7AL-2 for start retard? Or will I have to upgrade my ignition? SDG Motorsports Hellcat Demon and Redeye Supercharger CNC Porting https://www.sdgmotorsports.com/

They are usually ground-start i.e. you ground a wire to activate the timing retard so it could easily be tied into the "start" circuit. http://www.jegs.com/i/MSD+Ignition/121/8...CFYMWHwodlEUNPQ

Motor will crank with less advance and go to full advance when it fires. Advance comes in so fast it will not vary with rpm. 2012 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2013 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2014 422 Allstars NSS Champion
