Trigger Wheel Advance Problems?
Larry:
I posted this recently on the old board, but wondered what the issues are with having a constant advance present. I ride 3200 - 3500 RPM usually, but am looking for a little extra kick for passing etc as well as some extra fuel economy. Seems to be a bit flat when I roll on in this RPM range. Some have reported some loss of power at high speed. Just wondering why that might be.

I have a '99 I/S and I ran the 4* wheel with no issues at all. As for top end, unless you like to run in the 100 + mph, the wheel should not be an issue. I took mine out towards the end of the season last year because the cost of fuel was getting to $1.50 ltr for regular, and it is recommended to use premium fuel when running with a trigger wheel. The price of fuel has dropped quite a bit, so I may pop mine back in.
With the trigger wheel installed, I feel a noticeable difference, and as some would say, just gear down and go, but with the wheel, I don't have to. I like that little bit of punch.

Have you considered the ECT mod? The cost is less and you can dial in how much advance you want. I don't have experience with a trigger wheel but I'm very pleased with the ECT mod. Check it out in Shop Talk. You'll need at least mid grade gas either way.

Larry,, I have the same trigger wheel installed and I had a flat spot around 3500 rpm,, but mine was because of the cobra 6 into 6 pipes and I had to put in a needle kit and now have great response and no flat spots at all. I run regular gas and its fine. Went 7000 miles in one trip last summer and got around 30 mpg

I have a standard '97 - put in a 6° TW - midrange is better but not spectacular - lost 10km/h in topspeed !
