Here's a page of FD dynos:

Stay tuned. I plan on installing the HKS Twin Power Ignition @ the Rx7 Store. I will have a base dyno pull before, and fine-tuned dyno plot after the HKS Twin Power is installed.
If I forget to post the dyno, someone PM me, and remind me.

I've found that with upgraded leading coils and the HKS twinpower, I don't have ignition break up at high rpms anymore.

Yes, these are the symptoms my car has @14.5 psi. Jason (Rx7 Store) recommended I get a Twin Power. He thinks 10 hp is available with better ignition. We'll see

I've read the stock FD ignition coils are pretty good?

True, there should be no need for any other type of coil.
While some may give you a hotter spark they just don't seem to have the longevity of the stockers.

i just installed my twin power last weekend it made a huge difference in the way my car feels. probably didn't add much power, but it is smoother and comes in a lot quicker. midrange is definately where you feel it, and it seems like it just keeps pulling harder up top

I installed my friends for the trip to seven stock last year. I didn't really notice a difference in anything. I don't have ign. break up symptoms like most of you guys though. Not worth the $$$$ in my opinion.

It's a problem @ high boost levels with rich AFRs...If you're running stock boost with few mods, then an ignition amp isn't needed...

It was worth it for me. As soona as I switched from my main cat to hi-flow cat I was noticing misfire sometimes as low as 11psi if it was really cold out. I ran 15psi with the stock cat with no problems. The HKS unit cured my misses.
SleepR1 has a good point with the high boost and high AFR as I have a Pettit Unlimited chip and it dumps everything out at top end.
I was scheduled to re-dyno this past friday at KDR to see if there was a hp increase but the weather forbid it. As soon as the roads clear, I'll be going back and then I will post my numbers.

my car made 15 more rwhp at 16 psi and same tuning after we through the hks twin power in. Im very happy with the results, and it allowed me to go up to a higher boost.
