wasted spark with duel igniters (on the firewall) run off the aftermarket link ecu you can do the same with cadilac northstar DFI ignition module for the 304 on the stock ecu if you ever desire seperate coils dont know how its being triggered i presume from the hall effect sensor in the dizzy

Whats the benefit of having so much spark?

The manifold is interesting, I bet she goes like a scolded cat, nice pickup!

hope you never need to alter the dizzy timing :)

the LINK will trigger off the dizzy but LINK make there own custom igniters so you can setup any ignition system you like. the LINK really is a good system. i run a earlier version in the VH. lots of boost means you need to close the spark plug gap otherwise under boost the spark gets "blown out" so to speak but with small plug gaps you loose some off boost performance. with a real strong ignition system you will be able to maintain a decent spark plug gap and still ignite the fire under boost :D
