Default Need a little help deciding on what ignition setup to go with???

Alright, you all know my setup and how much power I am wanting. I am running AEM EMS. Should I go with the AEM CDI w/ individual coil packs? What are all of your opinions? If you have one throw them out. Also want to know pricing as well...that would help out a LOT!!!!

Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks Rev.

We both have the Pro-10. If you want COP you need the pro-14, or if you wanted to run wasted spark then the Pro-12.

just not all that reliable on HIGH HP cars is all...you dont want your ignition taking a **** on you while youre going down the track at 140+mph.

thanks! </TD></TR></TABLE> My Buddy has had 2 issues with the Aem cdi, The First one the older style Had blown out at MIR last August, And was sent back to AEM free of charge. He Recieved the newer Model, Then 1 channel Blew out on the Twin Fire, then he Sent That back to AEM, AEM sent out the 3rd one, Started the car it worked fine and then he sold it.. Id go with the M&w but im sure people will tell you they havent had problems with them, But in our case It was the Older model, And the Newer model.

Seems like it's kind of a flip of the coin with the aem cdi stuff. The newer stuff is supposed to be better, of course, but i don't have any experience with it. M&W is definitely the safer bet.

cool thanks man. i was reading up on the m&w and it seems pretty difficult to wire up. is it really that hard when you get down to it or no?
