Opti Limits
Opti Limits Hey guys I was thinking hypothetically, if someone was building a standing mile car and was looking to go over 200mph and well over 1k hp would it be possible to do it with the opti?
As in, is there a limit at which you can only spin an opti so high or send only such a strong spark through it without it imploding at a substantially higher rate then we see on more mildly nodded setups.
I'm not askin if it would be smart to retain it, only if there is a service limit to the opti which could be loosely correlated to a hp figure.

My experience a has shown they don't like a lot of RPM. Over 7500 I had issues with the rotor slinging blades. After I addressed that I had optical sensor failures, with evidence of contact with the trigger wheel. I would use a crank trigger, and put a distributor in the back.

The rotors are an easy fix. MSD rotors should be OK to at least 7000. They didn't exist when I still had one. Large as that rotor, the tip of that blade is really moving at ten grand. LOL
