Just purchased the Dynotech Dynaspark Opti GEN 1. It will arrive at my door Monday afternoon. Anyone using this opti? They charge an arm and a leg for it! $613 shipped to my door.


Like to know who all have this mod and if its working for them. I waited as long as I could for Delteq to come out w/ the Gen2 opti delete kit but itll be awhile.

Its a billet optispark replacement.

For 600+ bucks, you could have done away with most of your opti in one fell swoop. http://www.delteq.com

Thats the route I'll be taking in a bit.

I intitially was looking at the Dynaspark for when I get my buildup finished but for the money, I decided that I would be better served to go with the Delteq unit. Also, I think that you are still going to be somewhat RPM limited with the Dynaspark aren't you?

Supposedly Dynotech has targeted 10 of the weaknesses that the Opti is prone to failure. These Dynasparks seal better and are less prone to moisture failure. I would have leaned more towards the Delteq myself for the fact that it comes as a complete kit, mounting brackets,wires,etc... over the LTCC, but the reason I didnt is the fact that I would have to buy a new GM opti crap b/c mine was bad! Thats an extra 300$, All together about $950.
They say the dynaspark can handle higher rpms over 7000rpms, I guess Ill find out, I shift at 7200.
You can read up on the info:

I have the unit too...I bought mine when the LTCC and Delteq were in the infant stages, so the alternatives were fairly limited. So far, so good.

FWIW, Moe Bailey, the guy who does PCM tuning at Nitro Dave's/DC Motorsports has a Dynaspark on his '95. He told me he loves it.

I may go that route. Having sporadic ignition issues and it could be the damn opti that I just installed in March, about 2500 miles ago.
