The Multi-Channel Programmable Boost Controllers are designed to be used with the MSD DIS-4, PN 6215, or
DIS-4HO, PN 62151, though it can also be used with MSD single channel ignitions (MSD 7AL-2). The controllers
allow users to program and control a variety of rpm and timing functions ranging from Individual Cylinder Timing to
retards for each gear.
Programming the features of the Controllers can be done with a PC using MSD’s Pro-Data+ software, or with the
MSD Hand Held Monitor, PN 7550 (See Page 60). This software can be downloaded from www.msdignition.com at
no charge.
The PN 6563 features a Fuel Adder circuit that gives you the ability to program the output of up to four additional
fuel injectors.
Note: The programming and features of these Controllers are explained at length in the installation instructions.
These can be downloaded at www.msdignition.com or contact the MSD Customer Support Department
and they will send you a copy (915-855-7123).
