Teach me about ignition

Loosen your panties and give me a few weeks there T, Pick which ever unit gives the best torque from my test. Remember I'm testing

Stock FC
Stock FC with MSD Box (waiting on a loan)
Stock FD
Stock RX8 (waiting on Bill

)
LS1
LS2 (If someone can donate)
Merc Marine inductive
Merc Marine CDI with an M&W box
Bosch COP converted to a standard unit.

My guess is the Bosch or the Merc Coils will come out on top.

For the type of power that you're looking for, I think inductive is going to be the way to go but the dyno will tell all, well, almost all.

I can't tell if you're telling me to drop my panties for your benefit or for me to take a dump... Or maybe both?

Sounds like a plan. But everything you listed looks to me like they're regular ignightors. No COP or anything like that. Do you suspect any losses by going that route?

I would tend to agree here. I haven't done a back to back on a dyno comparing the various systems I've ran over the years, but so far, going through many variations of stock coils, stock coils & MSD's, Jacobs coils, jacobs coils + amps........I've found the best balance of a simple ingition system and joules of mad water firing powah in the the inductive coils I have with the TECgt at the moment.

I think an inductive system certianly has its limits, and it may be outperformed at lower power levels by adding a huge array of boxes.........but simplicity/cleanliness/power I believe are quite balanced with inductive.

I'm as anxious as everyone to see the B2B results though.
