Don't waste your money on expensive conversion kits. The stock ignition system is more than efficient for most peoples needs. It's even gone single digits down the quarter.
Sure the location sucks, but take care of your leaks, thread lock your rotor screws, tuck your wires away from the headers...and you're good thousands upon thousands of ignition trouble free driving.

X2 the opti itself isnt the bad part, its the location and the refusal of certain people to take care of their cars.

You gotta take care of something you regularily beat up, and thats hard for some people to grasp.

The thing most people fail to consider when talking up these "opti delete" things is.


You still need a functional opti!

In order to use these fancy "opti delete" kits.


Stock opti works fine if the mechanic is competent, works great for me.

thats a very good point, even the LTCC still uses the Optical sensor within the opti. haha Fail. . . i dont understand how they can call it an OPTI delete kit if you still need the opti

One of my vehicles has more than 153,000 miles on it and its still the original OPTI. I probably could improve performance some with a new cap and rotor but I want to see how many more trouble free miles the factory OPTI has in it.

I like the LTCC. I kept shattering rotors at the track, the LTCC fixed me up. BTW I've never had any problems with the optical sensor in an opti in 11 years....

I don't see how running 11's will shatter rotors...

Really!! because I broke three of them at the track and went through four Gm ingnition control madules before I went with my ltcc and it hasnt left me stranded yet (like my opti did on a regual basis it seemed)

Were you using AC Delco or Delphi opti's? Did you thread lock the rotor screws (very key)?

6800-7000 rpm's....

I've seen opti's take that too. Do you think the opti's that see 10's and 9's are shifted at factory redline or something???

Yes and Yes. Also tried Accell and it was a bigger piece of ****. I never had problems with my opti's until I started turning high rpm's.

Not really concerned with what you have SEEN. I'm just telling you what I have experienced. It is well documented that the opti's don't like high rpm. Guess it's just hit or miss. Unfortunatly I spent too much money replacing opti's before I found the LTCC.

i got the ltcc for my build but it was too good a price to pass up. 500 for EVERYTHING how could i pass that up id spend more upgrading my current ignition. + individual coils per cylinder is better and im hopin it keeps me from havin to deal wit opti problems

I never said the system wasn't worthwhile, I just said that for the majority of people, it's a waste of money.
