Anyone running a Microtech (or any other EMS) with a CDI box? Any issues with timing controls??

 

Shouldn't be a problem. You can connect the CDI box in place of the stock ignitor.

 

Thanks for the info Aaron. I'm leaning towards the Crane Cams HI-6 myself. How do you like yours? Does it help with smoothness?

 

My Crane box has resulted in absolutely zero noticable performance gain, gas mileage gain, or idle quality improvements.

I originally bought it because I had planned to use the boost retard function with my turbo setup, but after adding up the cost of the necessary sensor and boxes for the trailing coils, I decided I would just go Microtech instead and leave it to deal with ignition timing.

 

It should work fine. I will be running my Crane Cams HI-6 version with my LT8 within a week to 2 weeks (Hint Aaron). Install it like normal, but instead of the trigger wires coming from the harness, they'll come from the LT8.

A little bit of planning should make installation clear, and actually running one won't be a problem.

 

Did anybody see any improvments after installing one of these?

 

Marginal bump In fuel economy but a very noticable better start up everytime. Nothing more really.

 

Anyone else care to comment??

 

anyone else

 

Chris Ng had significant ignition break up at higher rpm's with his Wolf3d V3. He installed an MSD and the problem was solved. There are a few variables here, like wiring and such but I think he found it improved things dramatically.
