Default Question for the Boosted F-series guys...

Idk if this is the right forum for this but hopefully the mods can move it somewhere more appropriate if not>

For those of you with turbo charged F-series: What type of ignition setups are you running? And at what power level do you recommend upgrading from the OEM distributor? Also, when upgrading from OEM what do you do about all of the internal sensors, etc. inside the OEM distributor? Thx for any replies. And pics of your ignition setups are very much welcome!

Pretty sure we had this conversation previously.

Summit racing ignition box.
Crane PS92 coil.
NGK wires and DIY coil wire kit from Jegs.
Send-it-Racing ICM delete(contact Turbo-LS if you want one).

Roughly ~$300 and ran a .030 gap @ 450whp and 25-26psi.

OEM ignition is good up to 350-400whp....and probably more. I have tuned a few 350-400whp setups on stock ignition with no issues. Of course you have to change the heat range and gap of your plugs accordingly!

IMO, Most of the Accel and MSD stuff for Honda's is a complete waste of money. I have burnt out more of these cheap aftermarket garbage ignition parts than any OEM components.

Thanks for the reply Ghost. The reason I was inquiring about the ignition systems is because of an issue I've been having. I'm not sure if you've seen the thread I started on it but I'd definitely like to hear your input on the subject. Here's a link to the thread:

Please lmk what you think?
