Dynaspark FTW
I've been chasing down high rpm issue while I'm on spray for almost a year now. Assuming it was a nitrous issue I rewired my setup, changed selinoids (old ones were bought used) and relocated them and swapped out ignition boxes as a test (thanks Rob!).
I contacted dynaspark back in November making mention of my issue to see if it could be ignition related. Mentions to me if it needs to be rebuilt, it's a $90 charge which I'm ok with cause I know I'm not easy on the car by any means. Time passes( couple weeks), I haven't sent it in yet and he actually contacts me for a status update. I thought that was really cool btw.
I finally sent it in on monday afternoon and received it back today with no charge! ( a year past warranty) Come to find out the rotor came loose and bent the reluctor wheel which makes sense and I'm thrilled that my drivabillity issue will finally be gone. 10's here I come!
Just wanted to give a big thanks to dynaspark and companies like Chandler( dealt with him recently for a friends car) for running honest business' and doing all that they can to keep our LT's on the road. They're opti is without a doubt expensive but great customer service makes it worth it to me.

The car still ran fine untill I'd hit it on spray. I sent it to them to see if there were any issues with it for piece of mind sake. Turns out I was right...sort of.

of the other incidences you've heard, what was the problems with those? Maybe my issue is isolated, dunno. I spoke with the secratary and those were the notes that Bob had left her so I never had a chance to speak with him.

I regret not going with Dynaspark sooner. I had issues with mine and come to find out it was my fault, I got coolant (steam) inside the cap and it still ran strong. It would miss above 6K, I chased plugs, wires, coil, icm and wiring. Finally sent it back to Bob and he took care of me, new cap cleaned base, new sensor and wheel, plus new vacuum hoses with return shipping was like $80. Then I had a timing chain break several months later and in trying to diagnose the crank no start I obviously had no spark. I checked all the wires and wasn't getting the signal to fire at the coil. I made the mistake of immediately blaming the opti. I called Bob and he requested I send it back. Within a day of him receiving it he said it was working properly. He went over everything with me on the phone to make sure the problem wasn't with my electrical system before sending it back. I received it back a few days later and was never charged to look at it or for return shipping! A+ for customer service and a quality product.

To my knowledge, the dynaspark is supposed to be riveted with aluminum rivets. If yours came loose then I would expect them to fix it as that is one of the advantages they claim over other mfgs.
Mine has held up great over the last few years. Plenty of 7K RPM pulls and 6500 RPM launches.
The Dynaspark rotor is equipped with aluminum rivets to hold the rotor contact in place and balanced to 6800 RPM.

This is what I heard also is why I didnt buy one when I was having opti issues. The scoop is whoever makes the parts now is doin halfass jobs. Back in the day dynasparks were top notch
