Not realy that new of a concept...MSD has had something like it on the market since 2008. The problem with this can be rotor phasing, on the 911 engines early dizzy caps are just to small and peeps have had issues with this set-up.

MSD Ignition Announces the Programmable Digital 6AL-2 Ignition Control, PN 6530
August 27, 2008 - The number one name in ignition performance is excited to introduce the next generation of street/strip ignition controls – the Programmable 6AL-2!
The Programmable 6AL-2 is an all new digital ignition designed for the street and strip. The ignition delivers the multiple sparks and capacitive discharge power you expect from MSD. Modern components efficiently produce nearly 23% spark energy and voltage improvements of 15% (135mJ and 535 primary volts) so there’s plenty of fire to light up your muscle car, street rod or weekend racer.
For street/strip cars, it doesn’t get any better! The Ignition delivers laptop programming giving you total control over your timing curve, rev limits and more! Plug-in your PC and call up MSD’s Pro-Data+ software and you can easily map out a timing curve, boost timing map and a variety of performance building controls.
The ignition will easily connect to a distributor through breaker points, amplifiers and even Hall-effect pickups. For more information contact 915 855 7123 or go to www.msdignition.com
