PR's running distributors?
Hi everyone. I just got done seeing some recent pics of top notch drag cars in Puerto Rico and the majority of the engine bay pics that I saw, they were all running the stock style distributor with two coils. Does anyone know if they are also running an ingition box like an MSD and they are just running it throught the distributor/cap. The reason I ask is because I am going to be upgrading my stock ignition on my rx2. I already have the first gen distributor but I want to install an MSD. Most people I talk to tell me to remove the leading ignitor and wire the MSD to the leading for direct fire and then leave the trailing stock. But after seeing all the PR's with their setups I am wondering now. What are you guys running and how are you wiring/setting up your ignition boxes and how do you think the PR's are setting theirs up?
thanks,
Jarrett

fuel only ecu you need to run distributor. you don't have to run ignition boxes if you don't want to but, if you want performance you need to add msd 6al or msd dig 6 boxes and control your timing mechanically. that easy!!! if you have a computer that controls both fuel and timing then you need different boxes or depends on what ecu you have. some ecu's like tek3 you don't need boxes they use coil packs and a crank trigger, microtech has the same coil packs but no crank trigger.you use the second gen no distributor set up to plug the ecu .but you can amplified the spark of a direct fire microtech by adding 2 msd dis2 boxes or a single msd4dis ..................depents what ecu you like best. I still use a distributor in my car but, microtech is the way to go for the $$$$$

I use two msd boxes one for the leading, and one for the trailing (no waste spark) i still use the cap.the only thing i did with the distributor was, to have Rene lock the advance by welding the inside. this is something you must do, if you want to have total control over your timing.
