4573, How good is stock ignition with MS
Posted by Boosted_Talon98, Jul-02-09 12:01 AM
I been doing my homework on tuning fuel on ms but I havent even started spark yet.. Im looking for a 400hp daily driver...LOL.. I got a Honeywell garret 60 trim now with built motor and all supporting fuel mods after ms is wired in.. So "without" an aftermarket ignition to retard will my stock ignition be fine or shall I feed the brain another hundred hours of late night reading to learn how to do spark on ms?

thanks

No, if you are going to make that power you need a way to retard timing. I am not a MS expert, but I am confident that it will do that for you. Or, you can just use an aftermarket iginition with some kind of timing retard with boost capability.

Your best bet is an integrated solution, like Megasquirt. It will be a lot easier on you down the road to have complete control over your engine using only one device. If you've already purchased your Megasquirt ECU, and if you've bought it from a reputable company, it should include internal ignitors that are robust enough to handle quite of dwell.
