Smile Got My Delteq System Installed!

Guys,
I got my Delteq and installed it over the weekend. I got it from the GP going on right now in the Supporting Vendor Group Purchase section. The install was very easy...The hardest part is finding a spot to route the long spark plug wires and keeping them away from other wires/sensor and heat. Everthing else was easy as cake. I was very pleased with the quality of everything that came with the kit, even the wires were nicely insolated.
One thing I did notice, was I had a problem with the car BEFORE this install, it had a slight miss in it. I changed wires and plugs and it was still there. After I installed the Delteq system it seems to be gone (mabee my opti was starting to give me problems) because a few days before I ordered it my car was sputtering at mid rpm but not with the Delteq system.
I normally run 10 Psi of boost But now my Air filter was pretty dirty and the blower belt is not all the way snug so I am only getting 7 psi of boost but I can say that the Delteq system gives enough spark to handle a 383 with 7 psi of boost without breaking up. So an MSD box is not needed, actually I heard a coils/kits like these can handle upto 1000HP no sweat without an MSD amplifer ignition.

Heres a pic of my system:

I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who is sick with the OPTI crap or want a more reliable, more powerful better engineered and better located Ignition System.

Here is a link to the GP:

if the opti was giving you trouble, the Delteq would not haved fix the miss. Delteq still uses the opti sencor. More likely, your cap and rotor are worn out. Which, is no longer used by Delteq.

Isn't it cool, how much better the engine runs. smoother idle, smoother and quicker acceration.Not to mention, how easy it is to install.

I dont think the MSD 6A box will work....mabee a digital MSD box will work but you will have to check with Pete from Delteq to make sure....

And Rob, You are right, it is great and simple to install. I know that me and my friend Maldo went thru a total of 6 optis in the past 6 years and it always was a problem with the cap and rotor so I know I wont be having that issue anymore...

Thx,
Claude

I think you have to use a MSD DIS 4...but not certain.
