10% HP and Tq? lol. That would be 40hp or so for me, and over 40lbs of TQ. Show me where to sign up!

I use the Jacobs Ignition. It's a good ignition but NO ignition will ever give you any increase.

I agree, the ignition is not really the place to be looking to gain power. Think more along the lines of keeping it in good working order (fresh plugs, wires, coil, opti if needed). Otherwise put the $$ towards getting more air & fuel in, and a better flowing exhaust system.

That's ridiculous. I wouldn't buy a product from any company that would insult my intelligence by making such a preposterous claim.

Hmmmm , 10% increase ?? I did install one of their units on my 89 GTA w/ 10mm wires. I did notice an increase after I opened up the sparkplug gap as they advise you to do. But I did have other mods to the engine & exhaust. But 10% , I don't think so !

they say that the system burns more of the fuel in the cylinder like 98 % where as most stock systems only burn between 70%- 80%. they say this is where the power increase comes from. well i figure get a dyno before and after no increace get money back lol. i will throw some 3.73 gears though. thanks for the input bro's
