SALLEE CHRVROLET - MSD 6 BTM IGNITION CONTROL
     Supercharged or turbo engines will benefit from the 6 BTM in more ways than one. Not only do the full energy sparks help burn the fuel mixture, it allows the driver to retard the ignition timing based on the amount of boost being produced by the supercharger. The timing is adjusted from a dash mounted knob and can be retarded 1 - 3° per pound of boost with a maximum of 15°. There is also a built-in adjustable rev control to protect the engine from over-rev damage. For a more complete list of parts and prices download the price sheet from the Price Sheets page.

MSD 6 BTM Ignition Control
      The 6 BTM is ideal for engines with a turbo or supercharger. Not only will the engine benifit from MSD’s full power CD sparks, but there is also an adjustable boost/timing retard circuit to prevent detonation.
     When your supercharger (turbo or blower) forces the air/fuel ratio into the engine, the cylinder pressure inside the combustion chamber increases. The result is a great amount of power but this can also lead to detonaton which can result in severe engine damage. The 6 BTM lets you dial away detonation by retarding the timing in relation to the boost pressure. By electronically controlling the ignition timing your engine can run on the threshold of detonation to obtain maximum power and efficiency.
     The BTM features a dash mounted control knob that lets you adjust the amount of timing retard. It can be adjusted from 0° per pound of boost to 3° per pound. The boost presure is monitored by a sensor built into the MSD.
     The 6 BTM also shares the Soft Touch Rev Control of the 6AL ignition for overrev protection. The BTM is supplied with rubber shock mounts and rpm modules for 3,000, 6,000, 7,000, and 8,000 rpm.

Note: The MSD 6 BTM Ignition Control with Boost Timing Master is made for 4, 6 (Even-Fire Only), and 8 cylinder engines. The 6 BTM is not compatable with distributorless systems. With an MSD 6 ignition, some factory and aftermarket tachometers and fuel injection systems may require an MSD Tach/EFI adapter. The 6AL is Legal to sell, distirbute or install on non-OBD II vehicles in California according to Executive Order E. O. D-40-26; legal in all 50 states.
