I thought you needed 3 boxes since the trailings fire independently? (or am I talking about something completely different) Anyways, does anyone here have info on the HKS TwinPower. It drives all coils right? And how would it compare to a FC1000?

I have heard nothing but bad thing about the AEM. I thought they even had a recall on them.

Agreed. I have one and it was/is a POS. My buddy fried his on a sand rail after a few runs. Mine never worked like it said it would and I was very disappointed. I think the numbers are FAR more swayed toward not working than those who have been sucessful with it.
I have never used an AEM product before, but after this, I probably won't try another one. The specs may look great, but the products doesn't represent it.

You don't need to amplify the trailing spark since it does little for pure power. It is there to help acclerate the flame across the face of the rotor and to clean up the combustion.

Last week, I discovered that one of my LX91s was making erratic spark, so I replaced both of them; power sharpened up. I don't know if the FC1000 boxes aren't well-matched to those coils and if I should use Jacobs Ultra coils instead.
Maybe I should scrap the ignition amps altogether?

Doesn't the HKS amplify all coils tho?
