Rich, I have several phases od Power enhancement over the last 2 to
3years.
1st was the up grade Bosch coil 25,000 volt and resistor.
2nd I added the even the higher HP coils for more power behind the spark.(
I
got a small break from the wholesaler Arrow Speed .)
3rd I added the 8mm wires for better insulation and less resistance as to
get more power and spark to the plug.
( Build myself because of our unusual caps )
4th was this last week I added the new and improved Mallory Ign Box = to
the
MSD ignition performance box.I got this price because Mallory builds in
some
% for the Pro shops to work on. They buy direct from Mallory.
The big guy's in racing all use this equipment on there cars where they
are
looking for 10 th's of seconds to win races.( Were looking for minuets ).
What I'm looking for is a positive spark that won't brake down under load
and wires that won't short out over time. Horse power doesn't come in a
can
so there will be some performance difference in HP, but not much for the
standard engine. But, What's wrong with having quick and positive response
to the foot pedal when you floor board it or take off from a light. Now
that's nice.Compare my price to Jegs or Summit and yall will see there is
very little money in this line of products.
5th Add to the list the new less restrictive air breather. This is a big
help.
And a couple of other things you can do and you will be surprised as to
what
the car will do.
I have something else coming also :
John Hervey

Subject: [DMCForum] Re: Houston's new ignition set up
Now here's what cracks me up:
There was this HUGE DML/Forum list fight over whether or not high-
output coils and low resistance wires and plugs are worth the money
or make any difference.
If it didn't make any difference, then why would Houston and John
Hervey sell the stuff?
Oh I know, you could malign them and say "they sell snakeoil that
provides no benefit" and that they "take advantage of the ignorant
consumer" but these guys are not some giant "conglomo" company. I
don't think either of them are out to trick us into buying stuff that
doesn't work.
I believe that the theory of more complete combustion with a hotter
spark provided by the right equipment is a sound one. I don't claim
to know exactly what the best equipment is though.
Too bad I can't afford any of that stuff for a while. I'm genuinely
curious what the increase in power is.
