Re: Anyone have the Direct Hits Ignition yet? They also include a free Tornado Air Management System at no additonal cost. Think of the saving!!! <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Re: Anyone have the Direct Hits Ignition yet? Snake oil? Maybe, maybe not. But I don't like the idea for non-resistor plugs and solid-core wires for a daily driver. Unless, of course, you don't ever listen to the radio. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Re: Anyone have the Direct Hits Ignition yet? Yep, it does require non-resistor type plugs.
What is this thing? It's a capacitor between the plug wire and the plug. I think basically it makes your spark much shorter in duration but hotter. Is this a good thing for us? I really don't think so. Our ignitions are plenty "hot" enough already and I DON'T like the idea of making the spark event much shorter lived.
My guess is that at best you'll see no loss of power.
Any electronics guys wanna give a little input here?

Re: Anyone have the Direct Hits Ignition yet? i don't think you will see any gains from any ignition upgrade other than whats been done, like plugs specific to your application, better wires if your GMs have high resistance. thats about it. the coil per cylinder is basically overkill really. think how many BIG drag race motors have a coil per cylinder? oh wait none. they just run an MSD box or whatever and a coil to match.
