Switch to Mag?
FEDNV:
So after converting to alcohol injection on my car it still is running the MSD system (2 step, 6al box coil and billet distributor). There is a Mallory SuperMag III for sale local with a coil for $350. I have never run a Mag before so would I need to buy anything else and what performance gains or other reasons to switch to a mag?
thanks
Scott

If you are using a two step/transbrake you will have to buy a throttle controller for launching.
dreracecar:
All you need is a buzz box and a mag specific timing light (adj conventional ie snap-on are not recomended) and make sure you use solid core wires. The spark from the mag is better for the fuel but no real big power advantage, anything you do get is from not having to carry all that extra battery weight to run the msd.

I didn't see any performance difference between an MSD Digital 8+ and MSD 12lt mag. Two area engine builders tell me I would make more power with the digital system because of the wider plug gap. Maybe on a dyno?
FEDNV:
Thanks for the responses guys. Everything seems to be working good on my car now but I see a lot of Magneto's on injected cars so I was seeing if it would be worth the money to switch over and if there were any real benefits to it.
