Default 11.41@118.49

Kept the opti together for a few passes till she exploded again . I'm very happy with the way that the car runs, but I guess I need a Dynaspark or something better than the piece of **** Accel that I have. Here's my best pass...

RT .048
60' 1.625
330 4.680
1/8 7.255
MPH 95.48
1000 9.506
1/4 11.416
MPH 118.49

I can't wait to get a new opti and the car dyno tuned. I guess you can never get satisfied

Awesome runs Matt, congrats!

As for getting a Dynaspark opti, dude all I can say is at least call talk to their tech, I did, it's a nice unit man no doubt the billet is big step, but unlike MSD's billet unit Dynaspark still uses a stock high speed bearing which junk out at high rpms, same Mitsubishi eye sensor for FI timing/etc, same GM cap/rotor which the rotor is plastic rivited and loosens or fails at high rpm (7200+rpm). If your going to spend "that much" money go with the MSD, it's all better gear including a better high speed bearing for the sensor wheel.

Thanks, for the advise, I didn't know that. What kind of setup do you run? Crank trigger?
