I saw 4 timing lights on Larson's Nova all reading something different, all different reputable makes, owned by reputable drag racers, so your mileage may vary. But I have had multiple timing lights on my car, and because I know where I've set the trigger wheel teeth on my balancer and the MegaSquirt commanding timing referencing where those teeth are, my own timing light can't be off more than a degree or two if at all.

Also, it should be known that there is no such thing as a timing light that is "correct."
They are just like O2 sensors - each has their own personality (mechanical or electrical delay, in this case). The whole point of timing an engine with one is to use a light that produces repeatable results, then use it to find the best timing for the most power (if that's what you are looking for).
If I had a pile of ten lights, I'd expect ten different results on any engine. The only thing that matters is repeatability and consistency.www.realtuners.com - catch the RealTuners Radio Podcast on Youtube, Facebook, iTunes, and anywhere else podcasts are distributed!
