I've always thought the MSD ignition was cool, especially when it could increase gas mileage and give a little more power just bolted on to a stock TIV engine. But the $250+ price tag was too much to swallow when other parts were needed. Now that those other parts have been mostly acquired, I'm looking at ignition systems again. This is for my stock 1.7 AX/cruiser 914, 1 5/8" Eurorace coated headers, and upgraded high-flow intake filter.
I got a box from Summit Racing today with more trick parts and they have a NEWish ignition box, with rev limiter for $159. Looks like it has all the features of the MSD 6AL for $100 less. I compared them on the Summit web site Link - Fixed by McMark Anybody seen or heard of this new Summit part? What do you think of YOUR upgraded ignition? I've read before that MSD is worth it. I've also read they fail easily due to heat and vibration and aren't worth the money. Anybody run the Mallory HyFire system? Or Pertronix multi-spark, always multispark?! Any other thoughts? Just hocus pocus? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I would purchase and install this in October when I have more $$ and won't throw me up a class in the PCA GGR AX series.

So, will one of these devices work with my Crane Optical and Flamethrower coil? Keep us posted how the Summit unit works out.
