I'm trying to step up to a ls1 in the next 6 months. i drive my car everyday do you guys think this one will last that long?

In regards to this seller, I am sure I dealt with the conpany over a year ago through eBay and it may have been under a different name. I bought an Optispark for my ’93 Z28 and it didn’t work. I’m talkin’ nothing happened… Didn’t deal with returning it but that’s another story.


I strongly advise against purchasing from this company, daily driver or not.


If it helps (and hopefully not in violation of any forum rules), this guy on another forum was going after this company:

Here is All-Ignition’s own site: http://all-ignition.com/

Hope this helps,

I had the All Ignition brand and it faulted on me 3k after the install. I went to a used Delco with low miles and put about 9k on it with now complaints.

Dont bother with those clowns. I bought one last week to replace the stock unit. I just finished installing it about a hour ago. It threw a code as soon as I started it, it stumbles when you hop on the throttle and will die on you whenever it feels like it.

I highly advise you to do some research on these guys on this forum and on other forums. Unfortunately I didn't do it until i seen a guy on here comment about it last night. So i googled them and found a crap load of complaints about how they are shady on refunds, the opti is complete crap, and how they were once selling knock of ac delco units.

Save yourself the time and money and buy it from GM.

If you got 3k miles, you did ten times better than me. I got 300 miles, it went out 150 miles from home, I ended up paying a towing charge to get it off the road, spend two days getting it back home, blah, blah, blah. It took months to get my money back from them.
