Interesting article on ignition systems:

http://www.autospeed.com/A_0772/page1.html

So does anyone have 2 coils they want to donate for experimental purposes? So far I only have Bruce interesting in pursuing this project with me.

Cheers, /James.

Since Ignition Solutions can modifiy our existing coils at a considerably lower price than buying new, I would be willing to donate 3 coils and front some cash towards a test project. We would need two more coils, and others willing to chip in. Ideally it would be fun to try this out on high end car like Rod's or a regular shmo car like mine and feel the difference, but the best test would be whoever has access to a Dyno. Anyone live near Ignition Solutions in San Diego, CA?

I hear from reliable sources that 560hp is available without much problem with regard to ignition. I must say however that every component in the ignition system must be in really good order or you have phantom problems which drive you crazy to diagnose and fix.
