Do I need to have my distributor recurved? I am using a stock 2.7 distributor on my carburetor 2.7 L engine I understand that to have a optimal performance a recurve is needed however is it really worth $500? My car is not set up for racing?

In other words will icy $500 worth of improvement from the modification ? My distributor is otherwise in excellent condition.

I've installed one of these distributorless ignition systems: Megajolt. The car is only kind of on the road so far due to other tuning issues, but so far I've been really happy with the Megajolt system.

Its a crankfired system, allows for a 3D (ie load based) ignition map, has a programmable rev limiter, and has other RPM based programmable channels. I'm looking into how to use these to replace the rpm transducer that controls the fuel shutoff solenoid on my MFI pump.
