I hope this isn't too stupid of a question but---would it be advisable to run an aftermarket ignition box like the one mentioned above with the Gen7, or does the Gen7 eliminate the need for one? I know the truck coils are a must, though....
Thanks!
Thanks!

However, depending on your setup, you may need one anyway since the DFI cannot be hooked to coil negative (-). It can only provide a trigger to fire the coil(s).
Thanks for the reply!
