s_h_c Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 I am thinking about buying a DynaTek FS programmable ignition. I am wondering if it will be worth the money and will it give me any significant gains. I have a few mods already. (coolhead 19cc domes, 34mm Kehein PJ's, V-Forve reeds, +4 Timing, T5's).

dynabanshee Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 If you already have +4 timing, and don't have a real crazy setup, especially NOS, then you can probably put the money elsewhere. I love mine, but I would like to find someone who knows how to program curves near me (Phoenix). If you didn't already have advanced timing I would say go for it. But since you have it, maybe look at suspension or intake. I'm sure you will see some gains, but nothing as drastic as when you are +0 and go to +4. If you plan on running race gas, maybe, since you can bump the timing up more. If you have $300 you just have spend on something then why not...

s_h_c Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I have dual K&N Filters, Trinity Billet aluminium Intakes, and I am running C12 race fuel. I am just looking for the most bang for my buck. I have about a grand to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynabanshee Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Maybe a stroker? If you can find someone (or you want to learn it or buy the programming kit), then it might be a good investment. Most people buy for the timing advance. It has very good curves (keyword curves, not linear +4 timing across the board). Maybe go with some NOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superchicken Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 wait till your stock cdi goes south on ya and then spring for the dyna.do a passion stroker for 1200$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenBB Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I agree with dyna and superchicken, if you're just looking for hp gains and nothing else (suspension, traction), I'd go with porting and a welded crank, a stroker would be nice. Don't get me wrong, I love my Dyna and recommend it to anyone when their stock CDI takes a shit, but there are plenty of other ways to make more power for the money...

The ignition is nice, but you can set atiming plate to +6 or +7 and get enough of a gain to get what you need. If your looking for more raw power, then you need to bust into the cylinders. Think good portwork, or even a stroker or big bore setup. Those will get you the most power for your money. I bet you'd be lucky to get 3 or 4 hp with a Dyna ignition, if that. Portwork can be a 20% gain or more if done right. So, time to break that motor apart and do some real man's mods. Just make sure to plan it out. If you ever have plans to go stroker, then it might not be a good idea for a standard port job, because it might affect the ability to stroke the motor later, due to the port timing changes and all.
