If you guys run a search for Carson (his name is Spyfish007 on the "other" forum) he has a post in the last couple weeks about his leading getting fried from a amp box. I THINK it was the Crane. I never knew that they actually fried, I thought that was a figure of speach but he has a pic and it was actually burned looking on one side.
Anyway, you might want to do a search for his name in the 3rd gen section over there and confirm what box he was using.

I talked to the Crane rep at one of the larger shows, and they said that the HI-6 that everyone seems to run is a short duration, high energy spark - basically capacitive discharge ignition just like the MSD.
Their new HI-6S gives a longer duration, slightly lower power spark (still much higher than stock) - an inductive ignition.
both give multipule spark below 3000 rpm and have built in revlimiter, but the HI-6S is a bit cheaper and smaller.
Our rotories use such a bad cumbustion chamber shape that a longer duration spark would help burn the mixture better. If I had to buy one, I'd give the HI-6S a try.

I've heard with the Jacobs, you should use their coils...

We need to get tot the bottom of this because I heard justin say Crane does not want anyone to use there ing. systems on our cars. So anyone else heard this?

Side note - My damn MSD scared the crap out of me the other day (forgot to tell ya this one Rikki). I put the new oil cooler on and disconnected the trigger signal to the MSD so I could crank it without starting just to get oil through the new cooler and build pressure first. When I let off the key, the damn thing lit off the dual post coil and blew a 4' flame out the tail pipe in the garage!! I had to change my shorts! It was LOUD.
Any how, I've found that the MSD will sometimes send spark to the coil when the ignition is just turned on or off. Kind of a random thing, but it may not be good for the seals to ignite while sitting still ?

Search the other forum in the single turbo section for ignition setups. There is a bigg long thread and towards the end is where I got that info. I don't know from personal experience.
