Does anyone know anything bout standalone ignition and such. Fill me in on the technical side. I’ve seen haltech and MDA 6A and such. Which is good, and how do these systems work / hook up? I’m a newbie to this ☹ Thanks 😛 ---

Haltec is the best but are you willing to dish out the $3000 thay are asking for it? ---

he said ignition…not engine management… 🙂 for non boost or non NOS system…no point on switching… i have used a jacobs system and msd6al is in my car right now… very easy to hook up… even cheaper is to just swap the coil… in reality…it will not do anything at all… with NOS or boost they are a good idea… ---

My bad sorry. If your not pushing mad boost or running a NO2 system then just a more powerful coil is sufficient. ---
