Would you say the jackpot is comparable to the holly? I'm looking to get a system this weekend, but just don't have faith in this system because of all the complaints.
Yes it is close to the application of the termx or xmax. As for negative comments, who ever posts good news on a help page. From my end I see a lot of install and setup issues. For a third party answer call one of the remote tuners and just ask how they feel about it and what they see. My opinion does not matter as much because I run the Aces R&D department.
@@actionvulture5251 I've seen a lot of people say it runs rich, but I don't think they're setting the fuel pressure up. Know you need to put your wheel size what gears you have, etc. all that could play a part to anybody's not doing it right you know can you give me a discount? I'll buy it from you right now.
Excited to see this project come to fruition! I also want to build a autocross car soon. Have a fun idea, just have to get a couple projects finished before I start on it!
Tim, how important is using injector loop % gauge to determine how engine is running w learn mode turned off ?? I’m seeing mid 77% under load to 100% on deceleration. On start up 105% ish. 🤔🤔. Is using this good aid to tune ?
Yes I like to use that. Anything under 100 is removing fuel. Anything over is adding a little. With that 77 under load make a note of rpm and map and you need to pull 20% out of that area and blend it out. I bet you it picks up power some
Ok cool. So I’m in middle of tuning. I have learned mode off. How long to keep off and what point do I turn back on ? What point do I keep off (learn mode) for good ?? When learn mode on what are the #’s I should be shooting for ?? Should they be same across the board ?? Thanks
Sir it appears you were having fun… in a fun haver… it’s almost like it’s in the name!! I would like to add that I also like to have fun and will be on the lookout. 😂
I've been sleeping on your channel! Glad I found it! Cousin Eddy is sick! I have a thing for G Vans and this camper is sick! Currently swapping a 6.0 Ls into my 1994 G30 Extended Motovan!
Very interesting stuff! I timed my 1970 Baja Beetle, It was feeling very lazy afterwards. I retimed it and found that instead of advancing the timing I had retarded the timing. Quick twist of the distributor and it was running much better! 🤣
Enjoyed the video I purchased same distributer for my ford 302 - wasn’t sure about the 15 degree BTDC - is this standard for aces efi or is that the stock specific - I believe mine calls for 8 degree BTDC - thanks for any reply
Tim, thanks for the video! I just started using the advance tuning software today with my laptop, wow this video sure explained a lot of good stuff! My Killshot working ok, but I have a problem with it when decelerating and push in the clutch it just dies! I've been watching all the videos you done, and it has sure helped me understand the Aces system! Keep doing the fun stuff!!!
Does everyone who gets this distributor have to do this? I bought the whole high roller ignition kit for my ford 460. Can I just drop it in like how it came?
This has me worried that I might be fighting mine when I put in on. I bought my motor from a guy that builds them in his machine shop on the side. It's supposed to be a "355" with a mild cam is all I know. How hard is that going to be to dial in?
I do not mean to worry people by any means. The basic adjusts to get one running I usually do in the hand held then I use the tuning software to fine tunes stuff. Not really hard
Hello! please tell me where to read, in what cases it is worth blocking the distributor, and when it is worth unblocking it? There is not a word about this in the instructions for Black Jack... I only read this in the instructions for Kill Shot and now I want to return Carter BBD, but leave Black Jack... Thank you
For doing timing control on the killshot. Is good. For running a high roller you can let the mechanical advance do its job or lock it out and build a timing retard table
Hello my friend! Tell me, do you or your colleagues have a video where problems with connecting and setting up Killshot are discussed? I have some difficulties, and the support service only asks questions (the last question was “what was my order number, and how do I remember, because I ordered 1.5 years ago, but I’m installing it only now) ... and sometimes I have to wait for them messages for several days... and I apologize for my English)
@@actionvulture5251 Con su permiso, citaré lo que escribí hoy al servicio de soporte. Yes, and forgive me, I have no complaints against you, because I understand that all the warranty periods have passed, I just want to set up for 3 weeks (three!) and understand HOW the system should work! (all this time the car is in other people’s workshops and not for free) and you tell me “tomorrow” but three days later you ask for the order number... ask Josh, we corresponded with him in December 2022. I can repeat my problems: 1. after 20 minutes of operation, KillShot refused to start the engine (it gave an impulse for a spark, but the TBI fuel dropped) I had to connect the Black Jack and the engine started 2. The KillShot monitor initially showed all zeros, including when the engine was running, and then went out completely... 3. The engine idles unevenly, after warming up the speed begins to fluctuate from 350 to 1100 and sometimes the engine stalls. when you press the accelerator there is a big drop in revolutions, sometimes it stalls and sometimes the speed increases and does not drop to “idle” for a long time... when you turn on “drive” the engine sometimes stalls... I just want to finally start driving and don’t want to return Carter BBD to my car (the pump I use is Edelbrock 36031, the oxygen sensor was first installed on the supplied adapter, but it was leaky and I welded a sleeve under it at a distance of 9" from the manifold) and, once again, please forgive my English, this is Google translator... Thank you

and Today, After many attempts to start the car and achieve normal idle speed, I left the workshop, the car behaves disgustingly, it constantly stalls, but the second monitor began to show signs of life, the following message appeared on it: “Error! SD Card makes file system err” after which he started blinking...
I bought this whole system tb , coil, distributor and 4l60e trans controller for my 1984 chevy k10. I can set the #1 cylinder close to TDC how do I get the 15° without a dial wheel? Currently 0° on the balancer.
I have my dizzy locked out tb installed. Currently have the old distributor still sitting on the oil pump. So taking this slow to figure it all out. I have about 3 days to get this up and running. and no cover as I'm outside 😂
Tim, So now have u on KillShot info I have another question. I have 98 (gen6) 454 that I installed Howards Rattler cam .555 lift .278/.286 dur and 109lsa. Runs great but doesn’t sound like a big cam @ idle. I talked to people @ Howards they that’s really lope idle cam ?? Is KillShot compensating for this ?? What do I need to do in tune to get lope back in idle ??
Where the timing and idle control are trying to achieve a target it will comp for that some. I will try to find some time in better explaining this and how to develop cam sounds.
Wow 😮! Simple and elegant system! Mind blown 🤯! 😱 super awesome video short sweet concise factual and very informative! Very proper clear enunciations! I’m over here dreaming of new possibilities for my projects! 😅 millions of horrible RU-vid shill videos and yet this guy has renewed my faith, I really wish RU-vid could really let me tailor my own preferences on there algorithms, anyhoos really thinking about buying this system for running my 2uzfe v8 😂! Now I just gotta find some way to make a intake manifold to mate up to the killshot unit 😅, ok I just found out aces makes the wild card port injection system mind blown 🤯 where did I put my card?😅
What is difference btw using download button on top left to the ones on bottom right as u were using ?? 🤔🤔. I always downloaded from top buttons. And where/what would u adjust if motor sometimes keeps running a bit when I shut off ??
The one at the top does the whole ecu. The ones at the bottom does just the table your on. Also for the keep running when turning off, for tbi it could be fuel pressure or timing.
Ive got a 4.3 V6 and aces doesn’t have a distributor for my motor but I want timing control through the Aces ECU are there any other distributors that will work with the killshot ECU for timing control
We have a v6 distributor it is been ordered from the manufacturer I have two different killshots on 4.3v6 one is a MSD pro billet and the other is a hyperspark both work fine.
Because some use it in different applications with cdi boxes or other things. It is easier to lock it out than install everything to be used when using mechanical advance.
The gold one I donated to a car that caught on fire. The black one is running strong on my dump truck it runs about everyday. My dad hauls rocks several times a week.
That will be a thing at some point I think currently the value is locked out unless you have the engineering level software that I use but it is a future thing
Hi Tim is it in the works to be able to set the number of cylinders in the wizard or software i have a killshot on a mazda rotary witch runs as a 4 cylinder so the rpm in the handheld is half the motor rpm i have the target idle set to 500 but having a hard time getting it below 600 so 1200 on the motor
I just purchased the kill shot and im no mechanic. But i have an msd distributor and 6al box how do I hook it to the box to control timing if you don't mind answering.Thanks
Lock out the distributor and use the vr wire on the killshot harness then use the point wire to trigger the MSD box. There is a diagram that will help in the instructions.
Is there any way to wire up the factory gauges to the setup and correct speedo accuracy and such? Looking to do this setup on my 90’ suburban with a 5.3/4L60E swap and really wanting to use the factory gauges. The speedo is electronic on the 90’ and all the other gauges just used sensors. You think there’s a way I can make this work? ACES’s website isn’t very clear on this and just acts like it can’t be done and that is why they have the display to monitor stuff
Oh ok cause I've been having problems with mine randomly acting up and can't figure out why I've sent a few videos to Bradleys email hopefully y'all can figure it
Big fan personally. I have a few projects so I daily them everyday. The camper, Taheo, dump truck, turbo farm truck all aces powered. Nothing more than basic install and tuning.
