Del-teq is still out, alot of people buy it when their opti dies more then once. It's supposed to be a great buy, no more replacing.

I have it on my car. Works great.
Much better spark quality than the opti.

delteq for me, works great, no more distributor, and it looks great in the enginebay IMO, ive actually seen a small increase in fuel efficiency also, i went from 9-10 MPG to 11-12 MPG(my car is not daily driven and everytime it leave the garage its driven hard)
