It is on any fuel injected car (dont quote me on that) the MSD lets you adjust the base timing that the ECU uses so your sort of "tricking" the computer into giving you a little more timing. For example, the ECU knows you are set at 5 deg advance. If it calls for 25 at the current RPM and load, It will add 20 degrees of advance via the distributor for a total of 25. With the MSD you can set that origial 5 to 10, resulting in 30 degrees advance. More of a tuning tool than anything
