I'm wondering weather or not to put in a crane Hi 6 or go with the HKS twin power pack .I 've read that the crane will burn your coil out. I never read any cons about the HKS unit though. Any suggestions?

The HKS does both leading and trailing, and it comes with a harness that lets you install it in 10 seconds. The crane will only do leading. You'll need two more to do the trailing.

Hmmm I didn't know that.

Have you heard anything about the short life span to the coil as a result of using either?

I've heard of the Crane doing that, but it may have been an older version. Everyone who has the HKS system seems to love it.

The nice thing about the HKS unit is that it's so small.

What about running a MSD 6A on the leading. Anyone doing that? How is the install....is it a pita??? I'm not so worried about trailing, I just want something for my leading and I can get a 6A from someone for cheap.



What do you guys think?

That will do a good job. That's what I used to have. You just have to wire it up for power and ground and then tap into the stock wiring.

According to Mazda Sources the trailing ignition is only 10% of your HP and more or less a cleanup for emissions.



I was wondering about the new Mallory HyFire. It's about $120 but I'm not sure it would work with the Mazda.

I know some Rotorheads use MSD's 6A and others use Cranes Hi-6
