From what I have researched so far, the horsepower loss is minimal because the second plug is only firing on the opposite cylinder to burn off excess fuel. Its design is for emissions more than anyting. Im not against using the MP distributor deal. Just seeing what, if anything, new was out there. The FAST deal is cool and all but I have my fuel setup of choice. Basically, I have the ignition and fuel setup that I believe is the better mousetrap. I just want the valvetrain longevity, horsepower, and weight savings of the Gen 3. The Gen 3 blocks are lighter than a 340 block and my block is WAY heavier than a 340 block!
