MSD??

[Guero]

Should i get and MSD ignition for my car, every guy out tells me it will make a huge difference?

I dont know how big a shot you run, but an aftermarket ignition cant hurt with spray. We all have personal preferences on what company we prefer (the one you mentioned isnt my first choice).

Good luck.

Did you get your issues worked out Guero?

Anyway, nah, I don't think you need an aftermarket ignition box yet. I get plenty of spark on my Zex 125 shot.

I do run a hotter coil (MSD) though- I figured for $50, why not.

Yup the ford ignition system is pretty good, there are plenty of 11 sec cars using the stock ford set up.

If you were NA, I'd tell you to save your money

If you were blown or turbo, I'd say yes, go for it

Bottled HP is just something I don't know much about

but

I would bring up this one thought here

If an after market ignition helps with spark blow out for blown & turbo combos

Is spark blow out not as big of a deal if you run the bottle?

from my experiences i say no.

i say this as with nitrous you can still run a lot more timing than you can on a blown motor.

if you run more timing your resistance is less when propagation takes place.

No your not imo you're just spraying a mist of giggle gas not raming air into the motor like a blower. Not 100% sure but I don't see spark blow out to be a problem.

Call Zex and ask them what they would recomend(sp?).

 

[Guero]

good call

Not 100% sure but I don't see spark blow out to be a problem.

It could be if you are running a 225 shot as all that extra fuel, combined with the increased intake velocity due to the nitrous, the colder intake temp, and the presence of all the nitrous itself might blow out the spark.

It certainly doesn't seem to be an issue when you're running a 125 shot on a basically stock motor.

 

[Swarzkopf]

Zex makes all their recommendations in the manual that comes with the kit- they say nothing about an aftermarket ignition. They do recommend "special" spark plugs and decreased timing.

 

[Guero]

ok then ill save the call. were did you get the regulater?

Probably got mine from Summit (where I get 90% of my stuff). I use an Aeromotive piece and have had very good results with it.
