Neil, Torque, Yes, but one can't mention everything. This morning I had a short discussion with the fellow that gained 20% in mpg on his Healey. I mentioned that I'd bet that with full combustion starting earlier that his exhaust temperature would be lower as well. I was flabbergasted when he came back saying the temperature was indeed lower (numbers coming later). How many people have dual exhaust temperature gauges installed permanently on their antique cars? This is the first guy I've run into. In addition to manifold vacuum, this is yet another useful diagnostic tool. Oh, and I'll bet the torque is up. Has to be actually given the increase in mileage and the lower exhaust temperature but most of us only have a butt dyno to prove it. Fred

I have always deferred to Wayne at M&W for Ignition advice over the past 25+ years.

In reading all of the posts here, there is something missing. Something way more important TO ME!!!!

No disrespect meant to you Fred, but you are always missing the most important number in any of your posts, TO ME!!! THATS ENGINE TORQUE produced.

As an engine person, I could care less what the internals have, I want to see a torque increase on the dyno, driver response on throttle response and reliability.

An engine is the sum of its parts. I want the best parts possible in every area of the engine. If the
CDI I choose produces more torque in testing, and is reliable, I'm buying that one. That is job #1.

Wayne has always come through for me on every system we have purchased from him and we have found in over multiple engines, the CDI system we use produces the most torque in all of our testing.

Our name is Performance Developments so developing performance is our DNA. Spark plug life is not important to us. Plugs are cheap!!!!!

These large chambered engines with domed pistons, ports that do not flow well, have a lot of reversion and messy air flow when the throttles are opened, need all the help they can get. The ignition is the last event to happen, so make it worthwhile.

To me, reading all about the testing that has been done, is all too much about the "pointed hat" syndrome.

If you want to sell your Ignition system to engine people, sell them engine performance gains.

That is what Wayne sells to me.
