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)????
