Best opti's as of 2016?
#21
Cool thanks, I've never heard of those before; I'll look into those. For the moment I should be buying a CPP opti from a member on here. Getting a great deal on it with MSD cap and rotor, MSD wires, and new plugs. BUT, I need another opti for another car so I'm going to try something different on that one so I'm still looking for tips like this one. Thanks!

not familiar with the "CCP opti"
I have only used either original AC Delco or the Delphi Optis and replaced the cap & rotor when needed with a MSD C&R
There are endless threads about "other" Opti's with the common point they either are bad right out of the box or have a short life.
with this said I have read threads + for Skip White Optis....but it is the iternet

although you may be getting what you pay for....YMMV

I'm pretty sure that a GMPP opti = AC Delco opti. Summit Racing clearanced their GMPP optis a few years ago. If I remember correctly, the unvented versions, which is what I needed, got as low as $199. I bought a couple during that sale and took one of them apart to confirm that it had the Mitsubishi optical sensor.
If I had to buy a new opti now, I would be looking at Delphi, assuming they are still making new units. The optical sensor seems to be the most important component and I'm pretty much certain that Delphi used the same sensor as AC Delco and is probably the same piece of equipment in general.

I was just about to mention the AIP. I had one on my turbo camaro for a few years and even used the sensor in my deltq system for a while before I switched to the AEM Infinity with coil per cylinder. It ran great. I had a problem with other brands rotors blowing apart. the AIP rotor looked the same as the others but I never had it fail.

I'm pretty sure that AIP optisparks used to be know as All Ignition, which did not have a very good track record. Whether or not they have changed, I can't say.

What I've found to be the best long term solution is an MSD opti. That way when it ***** up, you just send it back to MSD and they rebuild it for a lot cheaper than any quality new or reman one. I've had mine for about 5 years without a hiccup though.
