I believe it cost around 500 or so, you could do a DELTEQ setup or LTCC.

How many opti's have you been through? if it is a new one you should pull it apart and locktight the 3 screws on the inside. I have never had issues with an opti

well i have the best luck with opticraps. lets see 2 msd's 1 bad out of box, the other was missing on 2 cylinders. factory opti lasted about 2 weeks hitting 7 grand a few times. now the LTCC looks like the next step. i have a guy that is local to me working on making a rear mount distributor to plug into the factory harness. he might have it done by the end of this year, he told me that yesterday when i asked about it. until then i guess some will have good luck with them and others, like me, won't.
