once you start pushing the limits you will see how poor those conversions in fact are, though most will never notice the difference or really need it. the FC coils are great but using the 1st gen electronic distributor still causes them to fall on their face after 4500RPMs at even 200whp+ ranges.

Thats if you use the j10X ignitors. My solution uses the GM HEI which can handle
almost 2x the power and you can get HPO versions for more spark energy.
Plus my solution costs about 1/10 that of an MSD or other ignition box
variants out there. Literally, the plug wires are the big money items compared
to the HEI and TFI coils (if you grab them from the JY).
