This is not a question of belief - it is a question of evidence. (And nobody has questioned that you cured your breakup with stock coils.)

You have repeatedly stated that a Twin Power is an inadequate solution to high rpm breakup but you have not offered any evidence of this claim. A quick search here would confirm that it has worked almost without fail for many years for many FD owners on both stock and highly modified cars.

as far as I know the 500+ club guys on this forum like Ernie T do not use a Twin Power, that tells me it's a band aid what is really needed: a completely upgraded ignition...if you're 400 or less, the combination I proposed should work for less $$$

So what makes your NGK ultra low resistance Power Cables and iridiums any different. I would expect a TwinPower to last the life of the car. How long do your plugs and wires last?

Also can your setup satisfy power levels above 400? 500? Please let everyone know service length and power level.

Show me a majority number of people in the 500 range without a twin power.

Show me a good alternative for coils in the FD (This is more because mine just fell of the shelf and two of the plastic nipples are broken now)

Show me how a Twin Power won't make a positive difference, aging ignition system, or in a new ignition setup alike. Either way, it will improve functionality. And that is the point. Don't call a product silly... if it works.

I should have stated my point: On stock coils, you can use a Twin Power to have reliable and strong spark. Many people run very high horsepower and have been for a very long time with stock coils and a Twin Power.

There are 10,000 ways to skin a cat. As long as you come out of there with 10 fingers and a skinned cat... You're good to go.

how high?

my point is, you don't need it to run 400 hp, and if you want to run more than that, it's a good idea to upgrade from the stock coils...at that point, the TP is ancillary

so the bottom line is, it's always ancillary

So, according to you:
Twin Power = Useless over 400hp.
Twin Power = Useless under 400hp.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Considering the Twin Power has proven itself to be useful in a VERY broad range of powerbands, the burden of proof to show that it is doing nothing... is on you.

Have a nice day.
