Best ignition box

[adeezy9183]

hey guys, i was wondering if an ignition box is worth the money. i hear people say that it will make your bike run a lot better and you won't foul plugs as much. is this true. if so which ones do you recommend? thanks

No. Keep the stocker unless you have the time/money to buy a dyna and hit a dyno to custom program it to your motor's needs, or have the needs to use the other functionality like a stutter box, tachometer, Nitrous Inputs...shift light inputs, etc.

 

Any other aftermarket plug in CDI is junk. None of them give you 1000 extra RPM.

They advance the timing, which can be done easily with a 35 dollar plate.

 

Save your money.... They are worth it on a 4 stroke, on two strokes they are worthless....

If your fouling plugs, fix the jetting or clean your air filters, a properly jetted bike won't foul plugs....

I had a GYT-R box and I did notice increased spark engergy. I accidently routed a wire wrong when I put my plate back on.. The flywheel wore through the jacket and was arking on the flywheel.. Bike started fine but didn't seem to want to rev past about 5-6k. I switched the CDI out for the stocker thinking that was the problem and then it didn't even want to start.. So I think the stronger energy helped get a lil more juice to the coils.

 

For the price there are better mods to have for sure then a aftermarket CDI..

 

If you think about it.. $250 is half way to a good port job.

That's a good point, Shayne...I didn't take into consideration the GYT-R, I was talking about the 100 dollar uncle ed's cheapy CDIs. Dyna is about the same price at the GYT-R.

 

I had a Dyna, and I could tell you the spark energy is greater, because even with the ignition off, it would fire the plugs two or three times. Enough to make you think it was going to start...then realize the switch was off. Had a few of those OOPS at the track, followed by a few M Fers.....etc... LOL.

Yeah.. Mine was free so it was worth the price. But I did go back to stock. I'd like to get a dyna and have some curvs programed on a dyno.. but thats probably one of the last things I'll do. Too much other stuff to get.
