No you cant use them there made for a motor with a distributor, and ours are distributorless ignition systems, but they make a box similar its called a DIS system

I'm not for sure on the channel....I don;t use the DIS Ignition box. I'd say to be safe, if you have to have one....do the 4 channel.

Why are you dead bent on an ignition system? Your car has a good one built in.

im not familiar w/ EFI, but ive been on HPT, people tell me its just as easy, im sure EFI live has a feature that allows u to run two diffrent tunes, in ur case one for NA, and the other for nitrous, go look in the tunning section, i heard EFI live has a demo version u can download so u can see what kind of tunning possibilitys it has. HPT is another good choice, im just not sure if they offer the feature for 2 tunes, give both a call, they will guide u in the right direction.
