DynaSpark or Optispark??

Ok trying to finish up collecting all the parts for my 383 LE3 build and cant decide if it is best to get a replacement opti or spend the extra money for a DynaSpark? I am going to be reving this thing to somewhere between 6500-6800. Does anybody with a similar setup have any advice?

I have a Dynaspark. My car runs crispier, and strong on the top-end.
I'm happy with it.

I was wondering too how much better the Dynaspark is than the stock one.

You might want to read what is said about it on the Dynotech website. It's made mostly of stock parts.

I actually wanna know this too... is it worth the extra cash? Is there a noticable difference between the two efficiency wise?

If not one of these two... is there anything else available for a 96 WS6 that would be better then these two?

Well.. Rob, I compare the OEM opti/Dynotech to a stock engine that has been 'blueprinted'. It becomes a different animal. It IS a cadillac of optis. The question is, do you care to spend the money. Yes, it is worth the extra cash. But also keep in mind, a lot of OEM optis have gone AT LEAST 100 thousand miles without a glitch. No, they (OEM) were not intended to rev at/to 7 thou... Actually, the issue with the opti (OEM or even the Dynotech) is the secondary high voltage circuit. By removing the high voltage responsibility from the mitsu design, longevity/dependability is greatly improved. Yes, we're talking LS1 style CNP ignition. The opti no longer is responsible for distributing spark to the plugs with this mod.
