Thats what I was going to guess, that it was set on the wrong setting. Not sure what setup you have, and I wonder if you've got it hooked up to the wrong place on the coil or something. Try flipping it to another setting and see what it does. If nothing else contact the company who built it and ask for tech advice.

Where in Tennessee are you?

NO OFFENSE INTENDED!

Did you get a schematic of the wirin to be sure it's hooked into the factory tach wire or the - side of the coil?
