Anyone read into this yet? I heard that it's 200% more efficient for a true spark at cruising speeds while maintaining a much stronger spark at higher rpms. It's also $150 opposed to $200 for a stock replacement.

It also says that it's much more reliable and much less prone to failure.

I think its just the cap/rotor and not the FULL replacment optispark. Search for it here, I think someone confirmed this.

It's a cap and rotor and not available yet (even though it has been in everyone's catalog for months). This question is asked about every other day.

ChrisUlrich

I was just told about it today... I was told it's a direct replacement for the stock opti.

Its a cap and rotor. I can't see how a cap/rotor can be "200% more efficient".... in fact, I can't even conceive what that means.

MSD claims the cap has a higher dielectric strenght, to better protect the insulation value from breaking down and allowing cross-firing between the conductors that run from each button on the cap to the corresponding plug wire terminal, and are embedded in the cap. It has been speculated by some that high voltage/multiple fire systems like the MSD cause the cap's dielectric strength to break down, and cause resulting misfires. Maybe the insulation value is 200% "stronger", but I don't see it as an issue of efficiency.

The existance (but unavailability) of this cap/rotor has been discussed here for at least 10 months.

Kind of like the search button. It's been here longer than that and people can't find or use that, either.

ChrisUlrich

I asked because I heard this was a direct replacement and not a cap/rotor. That's the only reason. So please keep the sarcasm to a dull roar.

It was meant in good fun.

I use the search button... but sometimes it doesn't yeild to many results... like my quest for a 383 LE3 setup. Putting into my car, but can't find anyone who has it!! haha

Thanks... just found that too... haha.

I'm just in a quest for something more efficient then a stock opti for a 383 LE3 setup. Sorry to be such a pest.

we've never complained before

A stock opti should be more than enough, but if its not you can always go with delteq or ltcc

The resonses you got are not directyed so much at you but at the fact that this comes up A LOT with people talking up the wondferful benifits and low price of a product which is not fully what they think it is, as they make the same mistake you did in thinking it is the whole thing when it is just a cap and rotor, and talk up the benifits and strength of a totally untested piece meant to replace fairly good already stock parts. Summit began taking orders last fall at the latest yet not a ojne has made it to the public.

I talked to an MSD rep during the Hot Rod power tour, he said their was a problem with the mold. So they were designing their own mold or somthing...
