Ignition Thoughts/Ideas/Recommendations

Tried the multi-strike, mucked around with it, as did a MoTeC engineer and a few other people, the CDI just wouldn't idle the car nicely.... It idled, but it floated around alot and just sucked. When I swapped back to the Bosch inductive, I forgot to put the dwell table back in. Set for 0ms across the board for the CDI. THe car started and idled perfected and reved to almost 3k before it started stuttering....

I admit, I'm really surprised that the CDI gained that much over the inductive even in n/a form. If this test was done way back when I was starting my drinking carrer at the ripe old age of 6 mo's with a shot of vodka back in the late 70's.... I'm sure inductive coils have come a long way and may have closed the gap. In a 400hp turbo rotary... at least the M&W cdi system just didn't make up that much grn. Paying $500/hp for that last little .75% hp increase doesn't really seem worth it.... now a 12-15hp increase and better L's, lower EGT's... yeah, I can see that, but I haven't seen it... if that makes sense
