Crank Trigger

Ken Haase · 09-07-2013, 02:12 AM

Perhaps I can help js72mav feel better about going with a crank trigger and put this thread to rest at the same time.

My all steel(except hood) 377" SBC Malibu ran a best of 10.22/131(6.51 1/8th) without the benefit of a crank trigger.

So I purchased an MSD crank trigger and now my car is capable of violating it's 8.50 cert and topping 160 MPH. And I'm amazed at the stability of the timing and the ease of adjustment. Now, some of my racing bud's argue vehemently with me that the dramatic increase in my car's performance can be traced to the fact that my crank trigger is bolted to a 555" BBC that is planted in a 2500 lb. tube chassis Firebird, but I steadfastly disagree. I think it's the crank trigger, and I would never go back.

'course at almost 20 g's, it was a little pricey for a crank trigger!

P.S. What on earth could Kyle have done to get sentenced to the gulag? He's one funny dude.

I have no idea how this has happened, but apparently Kyle has been perceived as a sexual deviant. Perhaps admin has a keen eye for the obvious.

Why this site tends to prefer the edgy and enlightening comments of 1320racer instead of Kyle's colorful humor remains a mystery.
