MADMAX44 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 is it worth the money or is it shi- can some 1 tell me thank you madmax44. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesw Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 i wouldnt spend the money on one unless you can do a custom program. they dont back down the timing at upper rpms and can cause a motor to blow up. b ut if you got the software and dyno or whatever and lot of time you can program the piss out of it and get some cool curves. i used to run one, trying to see if it helped or cause problems. it had custom programs on it though.

jesse1004 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 i run one and happened to have access to a dyno when we put it on. It added about 3.5 horse on the lowend setting. seems to start alot easier now. would i drop another 200 on one.........probably not. nice banshee btw.

On curve 3 at max advance i want to say it goes up to like 23 degrees. and backs down to aroud 9? but i cant remember if those numbers are correct. i used to have the info on the standard curves. although i would agree 100% once you get it on a dyno and get some customized settings thats when it will really shine. you just cant get a perfect curve from the factory that will fit everyones setup. they are expensive and nice but not a most have. you will notice alot of drag racers use stock cdi's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustydemon Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Sorry to butt in here and this is probably a retarded question but does it eliminate the need to buy an adjustable stator plate? Just wondered cause I got one coming from ebay that I think I got a hot deal on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 no it doesnt eliminate the plate, i run both. the plate is a static advance doent go up or down with the curve, where the dyna adjusts the advance though the rpm range... i run mine at _4 on the plate and curve 3 for the most advanced at low rpms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesw Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 theres been many topic on ps about it. it does back timing down but not enough when your turning 10k rpms. and you dont need an adjustable timing plate unless your going to add more timing to the box. which i would do but iknow you guys do. the ol timing plate is tired and true. very cheap. but what do i know.

There is no issue with running both the plate and the cdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADMAX44 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Thanks guys i have 1 on the way so it looks like i got to bye the program so i can set it up .Does anyone no if jim at passion sets them up or some one else THANK YOU.

Bansh-eman Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 i dont think passion sets custom curves. i want to say Redline? but i cant remember if they do or not. your best best is to make your own if you have access to a dyno. Do a little research to findout what setting will do what and start tweaking it. Use the dyno with it to show if your making gains or not and where in the powerband they are being made or lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopczynski Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) Even the stock curve in the ignition #4 is supposed to get you better performance. They claim increased spark energy and faster microprocessor technology in the cdi will make it work better. Dont tell me I am wrong, if you do I will post the directions where it says that in them. The 3 other curves do end up overall being advanced about 4 more degrees on the top, but if you set your timing plate at zero, they ought to work rather well. Keep in mind, most motors dont start making usable power till around 5k rpm. This is different for drag motors. I got the custom program kit also, so I am gonna be tweaking some curves on the laptop at the dunes. I also got a dyna coil.
