Yea I had a search for them yesterday, seems that I'm going to have to get one of them now, the MSD one looks good, I've seen them on a few cars but never knew what they were. Yea it must be hard with the IRS, do you get diff hop? Also, where did you mount your amplifier?

i mounted mine where the airbox use to be. Yeah i get a fair bit of hop, even with stiffer springs. i mounted a msd on a hq monaro in the cabin under the dash. You can see the crane one in my senator in some of my pics..

Thanks mate, I have had it dyno'ed actually, I'll post the sheet up now. I was pretty disappointed with the power figure though, I think the exhaust may be holding it back a lot, so that's next on my list of things to do to it, along with water/meth injection :)

needs a nice manifold now :) that power figure will look alot healthier
Does the torque curve look normal to you? Seems a bit strange to me that it peaks around 4300 and then drops off quite rapidly. I'm thinking it might be the exhaust restricting things.

looks like either the manifold or exhaust is restricting power, i reckon the that manifold you're after will make a huge difference.

Bought a set of RDA slotted rotors the other day, put them on yesterday. Here's a pic of the old two, one of them was absolutely rooted, and quite badly warped. The other was ok but I thought best to just replace both.
