Not Tracy, although sometimes I fool folks when I don't have a
mustach {:>)
However, I think I can answer your question,
Tommy.
What Tracy is saying is that he is playing with his timing
advance/retard. Normally if you set the static timing like Tracy says to
do in his instructions, you would have the plug firing at between 20-23 degrees
Before Top Dead Center at any rpm greater that 3600 rpm. (Remember, Tracy's system only retards the timing, it does not
ADVANCE it. When you think you are advancing the ignition time what you
are really doing is dialing in LESS retard. That is why setting the static
timing per Tracy's instructions is important because what you are really
setting -is the maximum advance for the system through the physical adjustment
of the crank angle sensor. Then when you adjust the timing you are backing
off of that advance. In other words, your maximum advance on the
controller is actually the minimum Retard position) However,
if you do what Tracy mentions in the first, clipped part of that sentence, then
your timing above 3600 rpm would be closer to 20-23+5.625 or timing may range
from 25.625 to 28.625 BTDC.

Tracy,
Would you further explain this
line?
".... The timing
is advanced by 5.625 degrees more than nominal timing which is typically 20 -
23 deg BTDC at rpm > 3600. "
