Does anyone have dyno numbers or know where to point me to for a comparison between the two different types of ignition??
Knowing that I can turn my regular distributor into a fully electronic programmable electronic ignition (okay, it'll still have the rotor which must distribute the spark) I was wondering what the crankfire has over the distributor ignition besides 0 moving parts that can wear out. for the distributor the path for the spark still needs to go from the coil>rotor>cap>sparkplug wire>sparkplug.... the crankfire is coil>sparkplug wire>sparkplug what effect does the rotor and cap have on ignition if everything is the same (advance curve and coil rating)???? |

I have used crankfire on the dyno against a 009 as well as a Mallory system...
setting the crankfire up advance wise was a challenge. Out of the box it did WORSE than the Mallory. After it was set up it made 11HP and 18 lb/ft of torque more. They both spanked the 009s ass so bad that it wasn't even funny... I'm thinking about offering my system again, since I talked electromotive into making the coil packs for it again. The buggest trich was the trigger mount. I have plans for them and have made them work many times... |
