I'm no electromotive "sign waver" I'm just discussing the aspects of teh system vs. the other considerations he had. He said he was undecided at the start so I was just bringing up some points to consider.
I never said CDI was bad. I just said that the TEC coils work GREAT without it - which is entirely true.
I never said a stock trigger system is bad. I just said the TEC one is superior, which is arguable sure, but how many people have trouble with trigger with an FC CAS? How many different setting do you need to have in a haltech to make it work perfectly? None of these issues exist with the TEC, you install the wheel, mount the mag sensor and it just works - flawlessly. To me, the superiority is there - you never have to worry about it. If the ECU doesn't get a good signal it just doesn't run. With my previous Haltech if the signal wasn't good, the spark would jump all over the place and the tach would go nuts.
Also flexibility can be a good or bad thing. Email haltech and ask for settings for X and Y coils and boxes. Unless you talk to matt you'll get a different answer everytime. I'd rather have a system that I know works to full capacity out of the box with little guess work.
Every system has its quirks, none of them are perfect its just a matter of what works for you.
Now I'll shut up and keep this thread on track
