Kenne Bell who? You can build your own ignition system! It all depends on budget...

The kenne bell IGN is *decent* as in, I know a couple guys running it (boinger engines) and heard of no trouble. But I have no idea what their system actually consists of as far as whether its an actual amplifier or not however.

you don't need any ignition mods w an RX6. just make sure you have good spark plug wires and run 9s or 9 and 10 plugs.

the RX6 is a wonderful turbo but doesn't move enough air to challenge the FD elec system.

i just saved you some money

my guess is you can run 410 rwhp w the OEM ignition as long as the plug wires and sparkplugs are fresh.

if you are running water injection probably not...
