ACCEl opti CHEAP
Northern auto parts has the ACCEL opti for about $100 cheaper then summit. Think it was $199. Complete opti not just the case and rotor.

Put a link up in the first post.

it's far from the same as an MSD unit. The Accel Parts Distributor on the Impalassforum.com doesnt even recommend them. MADE in China, no replacaeable parts (besides cap and rotor) like an MSD unit, and while debateable the Accel Unit uses Oilite Bushings and not a bearing such as the MSD and stock unit. There's a reason it costs 1/2 of what an MSD unit does because it's not even close.
But then again whatever floats your boat

agreed it is nothing like the msd which has ball bearings, a 10k rpm capability and a timing advance/retard the accel opti si the same as a regular brand like a summit opti i too agree i would rather bay the extra 20 or 30 buck and have a ac delco opti then a knock off. the msd is far better and also has a higher price tag how would u get an accel opti for 200 and the msd be 500? u get what u pay 4

They'll spin to 10k rpms. They showed us some test data from awhile ago from them spinning them up to 10000rpms on a special machine...

Don't buy a MSD Opti......
If your running a FAST Unit, the MSD Opti will not go to 10,000 rpm's.
You will have to use a drop in distributor and crank trigger. Don't believe what you hear about the MSD Opti.

ok....sooooo... what other opti do you know of that can do it... before everyone jumps on it... noone has really done some testing... so you dont know what its capable of... everybody bitched that there was no alternative opti out there for us, but now that there is one.. everybody is so skeptical... everything new you have to take a chance on... i have it in my car with no problems.. you have to take the chance to see if it will work... the delteq systems only seem to work with about 60% of the people who use them.. nothing is perfect... but we wont know what it will do until someone just buys one to see... it may be exactly what they say it is..
i would test it but i dont have a built motor, mine is stock and only spins to 6K.
