Default 4 VS 6 degree key

I'm wondering what the best key would be. Would 6 degrees be to much? I believe the v-force runs at 28 degrees, should I be aiming for 34 degrees or 32?

I just don't want to get a 6 degree key and find out I have to run 100 octane fuel. Premium is as high as I want to run.

I would get the CDI from FST(Mickey).It has 32degrees of timing and 9500 rev limit.You will have jet up one size for it.

$15 VS $250. I don't believe that extra $235 is going to provide me with much more power.

OK,I like the plug and play CDI.Than going into the motor and take chance of that timing key braking.You can also add timing for free.The pick-up sensor can be moved,by drilling pill shape holes and a little dremal work.Hope this helps![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

If I had the extra money laying around I would like the plug and play advantage too but money is becoming tight with my house and car purchase.

I'm not comfortable drilling anything on the motor. I seen the instructions from Kevin's website and this looks easy enough and gives some nice benefits.

Now all I need to know is if should get a 4 or 6 degree key.

so the difference of FST cdi and the 6 degree key just the rev limiter? so is it still worth it? and can you do both or is that too much? thanks..

If what I hear is correct, the V holds a 28 degree timing curve from start to finish. So adding a 4 or 6 degree key will bump it to 32 or 34, equal to or greater than the FST CDI. The CDI also adds a higher rev limiter and removes the reverse override. I'm sure there is something else it does.

Everyone is forgetting a very important point!!! The only way that flywheel is coming off is with a $50 flywheel puller--believe me.
