DISTRIBUTOR Any battery-operated, stock-type ignition permitted. Crank trigger systems prohibited unless OEM distributorless ignition. Distributorless ignition must retain OEM number of coils. See General Regulations 8:3. In this case for your LTjuan the Opti is considered distributorless and a crank trigger is permitted. One of the issues with the TorqueHead is the multiple coils. I don't know why you would want them over a single coil, but that is beside the point. Your combo only came with a single coil (it is plenty) and that is all that is permitted. |

Do not understand NHRA’s reasoning but that is the rule. It is a nice bolt on system and ECU easy to tune. Our B-Body clubs like them. Especially the Boosted crowd. Agree single Coil is enough. Until this weekend was fine using TunerCat for ODB1 PCM. Been a 15 year labor of love learning most of the Files. Excellent ECU. Opti is reliable. Just discovered it’s limits. Thanks for the help.

With all due respect, in lieu of trying to reinvent the wheel. Listen to the guys that are running the Opti-Spark system. On the long run, it will be more reliable, better performance and cost effective. |

Having a fight with Pat Cvengros over this RIGHT NOW ! Dan Where did you get that information from? I disagree since it clearly has a distributor with a single coil. Pat Cvengros - Pacific Division Technical Director (626) 250-2295 ---------------------------------------------------- My response !!!!! Found out mine is considered a Distributorless System So a Crank Trigger is fine.. D ---------------------------------------------------- Previous Conversation; No, crank trigger ignition systems are only permitted on distributorless ignition systems. If you switched to Super Stock you could run a crank trigger with the Opti spark distributor. Pat Cvengros Pacific Division Technical Director Pat thinks the Opti s not a Distributorless system ! So I am confused. Needs some help here !! Dan Last edited by Dan Fahey; 11-10-2021 at 01:14 PM. |
