Another interesting product, but I don't think they have one to fit our eng=
ines?

	James,

	Check out www.msdignition.com <http://www.msdignition.com>

	Jerald Beer says he uses the 6BTM, which gives high power spark and offers=
 rev-limits (I gotta get that for the track...no more "whoops, missed a dow=
nshift!" visits to 7400RPM) and manual timing retard for high boost. I thin=
k the 6AL will work too, or even the 6A, which are less money. For prices, =
go to www.summitracing.com <http://www.summitracing.com>

	When I called MSD, they knew less than nothing about Audis. He asked if ou=
r coil packs were transistorized or not. If they are not, then their system=
s will work, but he said I needed to get units that have multiple channel o=
utputs since our cars do not use a distributor. So according to them, I nee=
d a four channel unit (MSD DIS-4) and a two channel unit (MSD DIS-2), with =
one of the channels unused. That sucks, since it's like $650+ for the two u=
nits, while the basic 6A is $150.

	But Jerald is not using the multi-channel units, and he's raving about gas=
 mileage and smooth revving.

	I have no idea if it'll replace coils. My feeling is that it adds to a sto=
ck system, but does not replace anything.

	If you need one of the coils with the rubber plug boot, I have a used one =
on good working order I could sell you.

		Never heard of this do you have any more info? I need to replace a couple=
 of coils, is this an alternative to that?

		Any link?

		Cheers, /J.

		I'm looking at MSD for a hi-energy ignition system.

		Does anyone have experience besides Jerald (whose experience seems great =
thus far) with using a system like this on our cars?

		Also, they rate the spark energy in milliJoules. It ranges by product fro=
m 105mJ to 140mJ. What is the standard output of spark energy from a stock =
ignition system?
