New Mallorey FireStorm ignition? I was just flipping through my latest summit cataloge, and I see this Mallory Firestorm LS ignition. From the breif discription in the book, it looks pretty good, even has 21st century usb cable technology, lol
Anyone have any real info on this thing? mallory pt # 69050s, 69100s, there is NOTHING online at mallory's site?????
there are also 2 race aplications listed but no details?

Maybe it means sixty minus two (58 tooth reluctor). My best guess anyway. I wonder who's selling these right now?
Edit: Duh! SummitRacing.
I also see the Racing model has data acquisition while the street model doesn't.

you guys should dyno some stuff before making ignorant coments "like this ignition sucks"
MSD stuff breaks just as much as anything out there
Also everyone has been waiting for a cost effective igntion for ls engines with data logging and individula timing control and when one comes out,people are already complaining about it even though NOBODY even has tried one yet!

I am very calm
But if i had a dollar from every person on here who asks about stuff on a Monday and is a expert on the same topic onTuesday, id have a 8 sec car instead of a 9 sec car lol
Like you stated,time will tell how this NEW product NOONE has used or SEEN yet, will work, yet opinions are there
some should listen and watch more instead of commenting blindly
There seems to be a rash of that around this place

Mallory Ign. Glad to see some competition in the LS ignition control market! Competiton mean development and that means better products for the consumer.
Dynamic tuning capability would be pretty sweet, but I did see on the spec sheet that the foot print on this thing is 15.4"Wide X 9.75" Tall X 6.25" Deep. That seems massive compared to the MSD box isn't it? You wouldn't be manifold mounting that beef cake! HHMM, perhaps the measurements are in Centimeters, that would be a little more proportional!
Hope some one picks one up soon!

Just in general is all i'm saying
But saying something sucks before youve ever even seen it in use for YOURSELF (because you know that story about my buddys one friend ,that one time said he used it ,and it didnt work,because some poeople cant get the light to come in the fridge, let alone the one in their head, lol)does seem pretty silly to me
Are we a little self conscience?
The bottom line is, as well a job as the msd unit may do,its pretty lame and has a **** ton of room for improvement
Besides,that new carb you bought may like a new stronger igntion box to go along with it

however, my opinion of them is not based on some redneck's experience. it's based on my own. i had one of their boxes when i had a gen I motor in the car. bought the distributor and coil they recommended too. spent a whole afternoon putting it in the car, following the instructions to the letter. when i experienced problems within 3 miles of driving the car, i checked and rechecked everything on the install, and in the instructions. after much scrutiny, i opted to call their tech line. i was met with sarcasm and belittlement. after much patience, and entertaining the guys ideas, trying everything he told me, i finally told the guy he was full of **** and took my entire ignition system off and took it back. after that bad experience, i'm not currently interested in entertaining the idea of using their ignition products any time soon.
my opinion stands: Mallory Ignition is the suck!
what i'm hoping comes from this is that msd will see the new system, and try to make something a little more expandable themselves. i'd really like to see some of the features of the 7531 in a box for an ls1 w/ coils. i'd also like to see more reliability above 8000 rpm. i don't particularly want to drop the coil on a distributor setup.
msd's tech dept is much easier to deal with in my experience too.
