| In addition to the pre-programmed timing maps (selectable by the dials), the unit can be user-programmed to utilize customized timing advance maps instead of the pre-programmed maps. To use these customized maps, you must have a computer interface, such as the Daytona USB Interface (18014), and the Daytona PC-Link Software, to communicate with the TC88A module. (See the extra links below.)\\ | In addition to the pre-programmed timing maps (selectable by the dials), the unit can be user-programmed to utilize customized timing advance maps instead of the pre-programmed maps.

| The TC88A map table will allow setting the spark timing for MAP conditions from 16 to 30 InHg using 2 InHg increments. Note that 30 InHg manifold pressure represents wide open throttle (WOT) and 16 InHg represents deceleration or idle conditions. | The TC88A map table will allow setting the spark timing for MAP conditions from 16 to 30 InHg using 2 InHg increments.

| - | Note that the module makes some modifications to the uploaded and stored timing data (perhaps due to interpolation for MAP values). This fact suggests that one might want to have a base TBL file that is modified as needed and used for a direct upload to the module (rather than downloading a previously uploaded file, which was changed by the module, then making your intended modifications to it and re-uploading it). Perhaps trying both methods will produce the desired results. | ||

| - | **Remember. Before changes can be utilized they must be UPLOADED from the PC-Link Software to the TC88-A Module. It is a good idea to save the desired changes to the PC Harddrive before UPLOADING them to the TC88-A Module.** | ||
