Default Question about Re-Cal'd Relocated MAT ?

Anyone know the differences (if any really) that the re-calibrated and relocated MAT sensor does when compared to the stock MAT? I would think that it is programmed to read a lower then actual temp thus they claim about adding timing to the curve. Also If it does indeed do let the computer add some timing, can it be used in series with the PIII or power loader as they both already advance the computer timing curve?

Also is there a timing trigger that can be adjusted to play with the static timing on the LS1 or is that asking for a trouble?

What is the optimum timing for power (not emissions, like everyone who wrote about the LS1 being designed to run at 200-230 hotter per the stat thread, what they are forgetting is that is all about emissions in that design thought not performance)


Light Pewter metallic 98 Convertible 60K Mi. with Mod's of: Dual snorkel intake, cold air vents, mass air screen out, Bazzini X-pipe, Corsa Pace exhaust, factory Mag. wheels, relocated MAT, power stat 160, PIII, lowered, Mobile 5-30 (hate using 5 wt..)

I removed mine, its caused about 8 degrees of knock retard on my 2000. It was a waste of money for me!

Probably belongs in the same category as the worthless "air foils". Everybody is out to make a buck.
