One must be careful in dealing with e-ign systems. For compression ratios of less than 8:1 the e-ign is a moot point. Questionable even up to 9:1.

THE BIGGEST issue is cost vs REPLACEMENT parts!!!!! If u get stuck with somekind of special design kit or system that is not readily available at local parts stores then u r asking for towing bills and LARGE cost for new systems as well as TIME wasted waiting for parts to arrive. As with all electrical systems there is a certain infancy mortallity rate that applies too.

It is best to adhere to WELL KNOWN and WELL TESTED parts that are easily available. The GM HEI modules are abuntanly availabe. So called Custom designed and Hi-po aftermarket systems are not. Price differential is an issue too AS WELL performance controvery.

What i have stated above is a general philosphy to always keep in mind when considereing modifications of ANY type. It comes from having been tied to the whipping post too many times.
