The TCS-1 is a versatile timing control system for race engines. It is a direct replacement for MSD 8980 Timing Computer with many additional features.

Features:

• Preprogrammed with 20° advance curve between 1,000 and 3,000 RPM for V8 engines same as MSD P/N 8980.
• Magnetic pickup (distributor or crank trigger) and module trigger inputs.
• Module trigger output drives all CD systems including MSD 6 and MSD 7 series.
• USB interface and PC Link software allows programming advance features ranging from a simple RPM based advance curve to a 3D timing map with boost proportional retard (requires optional MAP sensor).
• Two general purpose input and one general purpose input/output terminals. Inputs can be programmed for multiple retard functions including driver adjustable retard. Output can be programmed for RPM window switch function.
• GPI inputs preprogrammed for 2°, 3°, and 4° retard functions (can be combined for a total 2-9°).
• Heavy duty industrial grade clamping terminal blocks allow easy and reliable hookup without soldering or crimping.
• Compact size: 3.3”L x 2.4”W x 1.1”H.
• USB interface to laptop PC (not required for basic operation). Powerful Windows software for programming controller functions including use on 4 and 6 cylinder engines.
