Go with it, its the best one for the rotary....as to why, its simple, one SMALL box firing both leading and trailing. Any others and you would need 3 bigger boxes to fire all the plugs. Simple install with the harness is another bonus. Get the hks unit. I have a dyno sheet I can scan where the only change was the hks unit, it added 8 rwhp and 19 ft/lbs.

HKS and Crane are about the only ones I see listed in people's sigs and stuff. www.rx7.com sells a Jacobs unit that they tout pretty highly. I generally trust those guys, so I was going to try it when I went for the upgrade. It's cheaper than the HKS too.

twin power.

Where does it's name come from???

I have the HKS and the install was cake. make sure you buy the the connector cable. MSD boxes put out multiple sparke per firing the HKS is just an amplifier. Bigger spark not multiple. (I could be wrong but I don't think it produces multiple) But a lot less is required in the install.

No HP #'s from this mod because I did a lot of mods in a 6 month span and did not dyno every time. Would have been interesting though if I dynoed after every little mod.
