Right, so you don't know the technical details, but yet you are using that as an good
analogue in support of the MSD Mickey Mouse technology. It's amazing the lengths
some go to, to provide credibility to a product which the manufacturer doesn't even do!

"For those of us who understand the theory, seemingly SOLID theory, behind the MSD, and now Ferrari, multi-spark design there is no documentation or supporting data required."

And you of all people who makes statements like this understands THE technology, right;

"A 6 cylinder engine at 6,000 RPM fires a spark plug every 33.33 milliseconds."

Loren, the 2.3L I4 in my '93 Ford Ranger PU has dual plugs/coils/drivers/cylinder and Ford most definitely takes the position that without the 2nd plug the engine will not pass emissions.

Yes, 3.333 milliseconds would be correct. Damn TI calculator, I should have stuck with my slide rule. Having misplaced a decimal point does not negate the statement.
