Always nice to have options. Love seeing the carb'd LS aftermarket expand.

The data sheet says the measurements are in inches, so big ****. The MSD box lets you update tunes on a running engine, I have done it, so not sure what the Mallory might be doing differently.

This box looks like it has some expanded capability. Looks like it is being geared toward higher end users.

But then again, it is only Monday. i will know more tomorrow

Hey guys, I snapped some pics of the new Mallory box at SEMA last week. I wasn't able to get any further information other than what's already out there, but figured a few pics would be a little helpful. I wish I could have held something up next to it for size reference, but it was behind a glass case. Suffice it to say though, it's pretty large as the measurements would indicate.





If anyone would like to see the rest of me SEMA pics, the album is here: SEMA PICS But haters beware......it's mostly GM/LS stuff, but there are also some quality Ford and Mopar pics, as well as some auto industry "celebs". Enjoy.

Summit has it as either $649.99 or $699.99 on their website, depending on which engine you have. The non-pro unit is $425.99 or $449.95.

I don't trust the holly units, I had 4 of their ignition box's not work in one day. I was on the phone with their tech guys and they were very helpful but still no fore to my gen1 383. I finally took it back and got an MSD that worked the first time.
Point is, they can all screw up. Mallory comp9000 deatributor has served me well. I don't have a problem with the price of the pro unit as it has many capability's .

I am thinking of converting my Nova to carb. It's a race only setup .

It's almost like a digital 7 and a racepak all in one. What kind of dash screen options are you offering?

Considering the PowerGrid in the replacement for the Dig 7....


This has nothing on the PowerGrid w/Racepak.

The way I see it is, the 6010 box is a great street/strip box for a great price, plug n play.


If you want race car parts - distributor and a 7531 or powergrid is a tried and proven high HP race system.

This Mallory system falls in between - in a gray zone I personally dont trust OEM crank sensors and reluctor wheels.

We have a Dashboard type screen that has you typical gauges.
Tach - MPH - Driveshaft Speed - Current timing - TPS - Coolant and air Temp if sensors are used - Battery Voltage etc.
all other screen are function specific.

Not looking to go up against POWER GRID.
FireStorm is design to fill the void between the 6A type box and the 7 type box.

If your making more that 1200HP, than FireStorm is not for you. Making less than 1200HP, it would be a waist of money to purchase a 7 or P GRID as they will never be used to their full capabilities.
Plus FireStorm can be used on the street, cant do that with P GRID or DIG7 without over heating the box and cause a failure.

Damn. Not just an ignition box then. This badboy can run the fans, fuel pumps, data logging. Seems like an awful lot for $600.

Dash is a screen that can be viewed in the laptop. An actual touch screen that can be mounted on the dash board of a vehicle will follow later.

To use the individual cylinder option, then you must need to use individual coils per cylinder, correct? If you use the stockers than the ignition box is only outputting a 5v trigger signal, so some of the stated benefits of hotter output is not really applicable.

Sorry guys, but I have O faith in their products since Prestolite bought Mr. Gasket a few yrs back.. I was going to get a job making Hurst Shifters here in Cleveland but Im glad I didnt a few months after they shipped their plants to China..

Check it out... Most of Accel's products once made here now Chinesium... Including hurst shifters, and most of Mr. Gaskets products sans most of their actual gaskets...

I'd fear Mallory may be in the same boat.. However something that technical and expensive hopefully may be crafted here in the states...

I understand a lot of MSD's products are now China made.. but fortunately their boxes are still thankfully made here.. so ill spend the 300 bucks on the 6010 box thank you very much!! Good thread tho guys!
