I hear you and that is what Novak says, but both of my 25.5 motors at 45 degrees end bell timing have considerably more timing with the motorlyser. I also have a Novak 13.5 Ballistic Spec motor with the same timing label setup. Guess what? At 45 degrees end bell timing that motor only has 40 degrees on the motorlyser (always wondered why that motor didn't seem to have that much power). We have a big race here this weekend and several folks have volunteered to let me test their Novak motors on a non disclosure basis to see if my motors are anomalies. Only conditions are that the timing label must be factory installed and the motor is timed at 45 degrees on that label.
