Ignition... any real upgrades available? I was considering upping the bottle to roughly a 325-400 shot. I'm pretty sure the motor will hold it (only one way to find out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> ) But I was wondering if our ignitions are up to the task of all that extra fuel and nitrous.
Assuming I'm running C16 fuel (117 octane), can a stock ignition hold it? I was looking at the Direct Hits thing that is out there, but it looks like a gimmick. Are there any REAL upgraded ignition systems offered for our cars?

Re: Ignition... any real upgrades available? What will your total HP be with a shot that size? Personally I think the stock system can handle ALOT. Didnt even flinch at my 730 rwtq.
The only product I know of is the MSD stacker...not sure if that is more gimmick than real product. Anyone using one out there?

Re: Ignition... any real upgrades available? I figure somewhere in the 600ish rwhp, 700ish rwtq. I've been assured that it should be enough, but on that much of a shot, I'd like to KNOW I've burning it all, ya know? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Edit - Sorry, that figure should be 625-650ishrwhp, not 600 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Ignition... any real upgrades available? With a 400hp shot, I hope your motor is O-Ringed and you have head studs. That is a **** load of juice. Not saying it is a bad thing <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
