Default Ultima Ignition

Any reason I shouldn't run a VOES with a Ultima ignition?

Run it or don't it's your choice just make sure the ignition is set to either running it or not depending on your decision.

For a stock motor it's ok. 35 * full advance at 2200-2600 rpm really won't cause any issues and will increase gas milage.

If you have a built motor with high compression that full advance at 2200-2600 rpm's could cause a lot of detonation which would require you to back off your base timing. By doing that you just reduced your performance and isn't that what you built the motor for.

I do not use the voes on performance motors.

It will also run hotter at lower rpm's.... But the choice is your's... jmo.....

Virtually no reason not to run one on a street driven motor...
