Direct fire ignition
Question, I was told that distributorless, single coil per cylinder, direct fire ignition, works better and is more efficient the regular distributor ignition. When I looked into it, I found out it is very expensive. Are the benifits worth the expense?
I am using a coil on plug setup and for me it was worth the money.I had an oem distributor and I was having issues with spark so I decided to switch over.I think if you are making alot of power and want to make sure you are getting a get spark its worth it.
I was told I would have to go with an AEM series II stand alone computer. It was over a $1000.00. How did you acomplish it?
No moving parts, [mechanical] is always an advantage, but $1000+ to do it correctly, not sure it is worth it unless you have spent $$$ on on the rest of the engine to up the HP. 94
If you think your making enough power to be held back its worth the upgrade. Going true direct fire (MW Pro14) is really pricey but I am sure its more spark than you will ever need. My friend runs the AEM setup in waste spark and so far so good he just has dyno time on it, but adding the ignition system and a set of cams he picked up 175whp at the same boost level no other changes, obviously most of the power was cams but before with the stock dizzy (plugs gapped to like .016) the power was all over the place from pull to pull, now it pulls clean and the graphs show it.

I'm running 225-230 whp. Normally asperated. I thought maybe It would give me a little more hp and doing away with the distributor was an advantage. But the price makes it prohibited. Thanks for the feed back guys.
