PN 8970

  • Three separate retards
  • Twenty degrees start retard
Application with Multiple Stage Nitrous
Drag racers using multiple stage nitrous systems on their engines can connect the Three Stage Retard Control directly to their nitrous system simply by tapping into the 12 volt solenoid wires. When installed this way, every time a nitrous stage is activated, a different retard module will be activated.
For example, on nitrous drag cars with three stages of nitrous, each stage putting more nitrous into the engine, experience has shown that the more nitrous added, the less ignition timing is needed. Therefore, the Three Stage Retard Control can be programmed to retard the timing for each nitrous stage.


Three Stage Retard Control,

PN 8970

The Three Stage Retard Control allows you to retard your ignition timing in three different stages. You can activate one retard for a nitrous stage and another at top end in high gear for more mph and still have another module left over for dual stage nitrous systems. When activated together, the retard amounts are cumulative so you get the total of the three. For example, if you pull 2°, then 4° on the second stage and another 2° at top end, the total retard is 8° (2+4+2=8).
In addition to the individual retard stages, the Three Stage Retard Control has an optional start retard function that retards the timing 10° or 25° while cranking the engine. This makes starting high compression engines with locked-out timing, such as crank trigger systems, much easier.
The Three Stage Retard Control connects easily to your MSD Ignition and can be triggered from points, electronic ignitions, crank triggers or magnetic pickup distributors.
The Three Stage is supplied with a 2°, 3° and 4° module and must be used with an MSD 6, SCI, 7, 8 or 10 Series Ignition.
