As the rpm go up there is less time for additional sparks .It is turned off ,the question is should I turn it on .If this is the way to go and Rice Racing has developed the system and the brackets I will not copy it to sell ,It looks like they can sell all they can put out .I will continue to sell my relocation plates unless another coil proves better .All those who are asking me for another idea on coils,reread Rice Racings input .Others with info please step up and post . Rice Racing I am looking for your answer,multi spark or leave it turned off . .Again NICE

Hi there, thanks for kind words

I have had plenty of people contact me about this system, even "prominent Australians" wanting to copy the set up, I don't have a problem if people want to mass produce the system, I designed and made that myself I'm sure someone else may make their own version or copy that one? either way I'm not fussed.

For your question on multi strike, yes it will just run out of time to do much after 3000rpm, all these modules have a set window of degrees of crank rotation to charge the capacitors and it greatly diminishes with increase crank speed, so whatever the crank angle specification for multi discharge to work over is the amount of restrikes will decay as rpm goes up. Sorry for the BDC touch type reply on this!

For CDI it is essential to have the restrike feature turned ON, you can have it off and you will see,feel and hear the difference in the idle quality and how the motor will run up to ~3000rpm, the multi strikes are not enough to make it equal a good inductive ign set up for burn quality/stability but it does make a big improvement over single strike CDI set up. I tested that on the Crane Hi6 LX92 CDI coil combo on may rotaries and also on the Dynatek system pictured above. Other systems have been tested as well and all showed the same or similar attributes.

Check for yourself and I love to hear your experience on it, that's what a good place like this is about is quality information being shared so we can all benefit from it.
