Question
I would like to know where I can find an automobile / truck computer tech that can change, how and when, the  spark timing occurs. Before top dead center and after.

Answer
Try calling Summit Racing's tech line.  Their guys seem to be well versed in stuff like that. Their web site is www.summitracing.com  Look for the tech phone number (long distance, so call on your cell) and call 'em.  

The cars I work with are all carbureted so I have no experience with the computer management systems.

Good Luck

Experience

I have been racing for 20 years, I have been the Central Florida SCCA Regional Championship points for 5 years running, and won the championship in my class 2 times. During my first start in the 60's I won many solo awards and the State Championship Drags. I serve as a senior instructor for SCCA, and have taught in Mercedes AMG events at Daytona, and Dodge Viper Days at Sebring International. I have been in the thick of the competition for all of my career. At one time or another I have driven race cars at speeds nearing 195 MPH. It's quite a ride !
