Crank Trigger

Let's see he posted the question in the Stock Super Stock tech section. What can we gather from that? Ed if you've never actually ran a crank trigger how can you comment on the pros or cons? As I stated there is NO question as to which system delivers more accurate timing, you make it sound like a crank trigger set up costs $1000 from the guy that claims we all bitch about any little extra costs the rule makers impose on us. Bottom line is if you want the most accurate timing system for your motor, be it a bracket motor or a high end comp motor go with a crank trigger! BTW the RPM of the engine is irrelevant here, the need for good steady ignition events is critical at all engine speeds.

Talk about what you know, not what you think you know!

The OP's question was clear and it has been answered.

Ed, I've got more experience with ignition systems than you could ever hope to have, I've set up and diagnosed everything from simple points systems to the latest COP based designs. As I've previously stated simply throw a timing lite on a dist. based engine then do the same to a crank trigger engine , if you're not smart enough to operate one I'm sure we could find someone willing to show you. I personally know 3 engineers who design and build state of the art ignition systems for both the OE and aftermarket, none of which would agree with your statements, so I'm assuming they also know nothing? Yes it was answered...incorrectly by you. Your set up is merely a bracket car that any person wih minimal skills can duplicate, we're supposed to be impressed with that...REALLY? Insisting that you are right in the face of all over whelming evidence to the contrary indicates a problem....maybe you should get that looked at.

Again, talk about what you know, not what you think you know!

Tell me again how fast exactly is this 3000 lb. 950 hp rocket of yours? As for me here's a short run down ASE master tech since 1985 GM master tech since 1988, multi year world class GM tech. Please feel free to share your many technical accomplishments if you like. What you're bragging of accomplishing is equal to shooting a target with a shot gun versus a pistol....very little skill required to hit it.

here's all you need to know, I've been racing nearly 25 years and have more passes by thousands than most that post here and I'm an engineer and make at least 4 times the $ you do so I'm not impressed that you're a "master tech".

My 3144 lb. MPR built super stock car aka "rocket" that I braket race is both quicker and faster than your junk, running deep in the 8's, and has 60 footed 1.17 leaving off the footbrake with an MSD Billet distributor

Oh my 3144 lb. MPR built super stock car aka "rocket" that I braket race is both quicker and faster than your junk, running deep in the 8's, and has 60 footed 1.17 leaving off the footbrake with an MSD Billet distributor and I'm an engineer and make at least 4 times the $ you do so I'm not impressed that you're a "master tech".

Ed, can you be any more vauge....deep in the 8's is meaningless, my "junk" as you call it was built by ME 60's in the high 1,20's (with a motor that's less than half the size of yours) and has been 9.68 @139 + so yeah your stuffs impressive. Oh I was never trying to impress you simply giving you my back ground. As for being an Engineer.... that alone means nothing, apparently you can be an engineer, make what you say is 4 times what I do ....wait for it...AND BE WRONG. There's alot of cars faster than mine that's irrelevant, I've told you before , we'll go Lbs per cubic inch and see what happens. I'm 11 lbs. per cubic inch, you stack on the half ton of weight and get back to me. Your statements make engineers look like idiots, I'm sure they're all very proud! Any possibilty you can go back on the college that gave you the engineering degree and get your money back? Cause they apparently failed you.

1320: You calling someone clueless is truly the pot calling the kettle black. You don't even build your own chassis, engine, trans. and yet, act like a know-it-all high school kid. How old are you?
