Al is right, the EC2 adjusts the amount of ignition time retard based on your initial static timing setting and the rpm and can be further adjusted by whatever adjustment you may have made in mode 7 of the EC2.  I don 't know what relationship between rpm and timing or the algorithm Tracy uses, but I would assume it provides more advance ( really less retard) the higher the rpm - but just a guess on my part.

Al,Rusty and All,

Excuse my ignorance here, I have absolutely no knowledge about how ECU's work. I've heard people say that it reads MAP settings - so what is a MAP, and if it's different because the pressure is different at different places in the inlet, how can the computer calculate the inlet charge and timing.

I'm confused!

It is my understanding that the EC2 does not adjust timing but the injectors pulse width only. Is this correct?

It also adjusts the ignition timing.  I don’t know what the formula is, but I’m sure it uses RPM.
