I have a problem

I’m starting to realise that i may now have a problem. and that is being able to refuse a good deal when i cant afford it. Yes i know i have an ecu that can handle ignition, but i did manage to justify it to myself.

The spark in this is alot stronger than the stock coils and the brain behind it provides alot more control over the ignition than the box i currently have.

Basically, for my ignition i would still have to spend about 500usd to get the goodies need to drag race this much power consitantly. This rig does it all and then some…

Sooo, last night this little kit was ordered new:

MPS HAYABUSA MC-4 IGNITION KIT

The kit comes complete with Billet Ignition Housing, Billet Rotor, Dyna Pro Trigger, MSD MC-4 Ignition, MSD Coils, MSD 8.5mm Plug Wire, and Wire Harness. You’ll be able to program the MC-4 at the track, on the dyno, wherever - with or without a computer! It’s what you’ve been waiting for - the ability to program ignition timing curves to suit your engine’s needs with the supplied Pro-Data Plus software. This ignition has every imaginable feature. You can configure the MC-4 for a 4, 5 or 6 speed transmission with a kill in all gears, a 1-2 auto, a 1-2-3 auto, or a full automatic no kill transmission. The kill time itself is adjustable from 20 to 99 milliseconds in 1 millisecond increments. The MC-4 can be programmed to either automatically shift or control a shift light for manual shifting. Shift points can be programmed separate for each gear. The MC-4 has three rev limiters. One engine protection over rev limiter, one launch rev limiter and one burnout rev limiter. You turbo guys will love the boost curve features of the MC-4. Retard features are many, like a launch retard ramp by time. Start out retarded from 1-15 degrees with the launch rev limiter on progressing to normal timing after 0-2.5 seconds. Three separate externally controlled retards, one is progressive to retard the timing on a ramp to coincide with a progressive nitrous controller. The MC-4 also features individual gear retards starting in 3rd gear from 0-15 degrees. An RPM window switch is also included to turn on and off any 12 VDC device at pre set rpms. The MC-4 is easy to wire and program with either a laptop or the optional hand held programmer. An optional shift light with remote launch rpm set module and gear indicator is also available.For use with single or dual spark plugs per cylinder
1,2, or 4 cylinder selectable

Supplied with the MC4 Digital Ignition will be the Pro-Data Plus Software. Once you’ve installed the software on your computer you’ll be able to program the MC4. The software allows you to map all the ignition’s features like you’ve never been able to do before! Some of the features you’ll have control over include: the timing curve, start retard, launch ramp delay, step retard off delay for nitrous applications, gear retard, shift kill delay, boost retard curve, and RPM activated window switch. As improvements and new features are made to the MC4, you’ll be able to download the software from Factory Direct Performance over the internet. Below are four of the screens showing the adjustability of the Pro-Data Plus Software.
