It doen't have to quite yet, Javad might have meant
that the distributer trigger has to go.  Although, at
that level the risk of a misfire is pretty high inside
the dist. if the components aren't in good shape.
Also, the 10vt head is a poor design compared to the
20v, at that level on a 10vt, really accurate spark
helps a lot, especially on a MC2 motor.  Just remember
the race cars that ran 600 hp with a distributer
didn't do it on pump gas.
