Hey all this is the last thing i need some information on for my setup. Ignition. I wanted to know what you 500 plus hp guys are using. I have seen some people running stock but i would prefer to have something that will provide a more reliable spark in the higher boost/ revolution area (20+lbs and up to 9k)
thanks for the input in advance i appreciate the help
Also how cold of a plug are you guys using in the 500 to 650 hp range?

500+ so 500 and 900? what actual number you talking here? i made 500 with stock ignition and revved to 9700 no problem.28 psi too.

900hp you're going to want to upgrade ignition.

 

contact tony over at T1, they have a CBR coil on plug set up that would work really well in your situation.

 

yeah i was reading through related threads and the M+ w Pro 10 i think was the one that i was considering but i am shootin anywhere from 500-650whp. i just want it to be on safe side

 

m and w works, and for some reason msd works fine on my car, i dont know, everyone else hates msd. i dont have issues with it.

 

yeah it seems that msd can be hit or miss depending on msd you are running. I've has few friends run the 6a and 6al and have had nothing but problems. Boostedcivicsir, what msd setup are you currently running

Thats kinda a overkill dont you think for only 500-650WHP. Any ignition system will work for that much power. I've had my MSD 7AL2 for more than 10 years and no problems.

 

the same 6AL, blaster ss, external coil cap and wires i had 6 years ago.
last setup used a 2 step for launch control.

 

I use a MSD Digital 6 with a MSD HVC coil

 

if you are shooting for 500-600, stock ignition will be fine. I have tuned alot of cars past 650 with stock igntion. Stock honda wire, stock distributor.

 

Yeah, you are right, its a lil overkill, but still will work optimally. I mean, if this is the last piece to the puzzle, than i would go this route and get it done right the first time. I have had issues with MSD too. It would work fine for awhile, and then the coil goes bad. And this has happened on a few cars all ready, even on a few all motor cars too. Ever since i used the coil on plug, i never had to worry about ignition problems again. Spend a few extra dollars and call it a day ! plus, cant go wrong with the proven parts from T1 race development and great customer service that they provide.

 

well idk if if the stock ignition will be fine i rather spend my money on different parts of the car then. I guess I just go with a new honda dizzy and new wires

 

I had Msd 6a until 720hp, then the car broke up really bad so i switched it out!

 

M&W FTW

 

i made 517 and im on stock ignition
