Was this a significant gain? I am setting my car up with the PS 91 now since it is supposed to be a street/strip coil.

It's really too bad they don't make the HI-7 and HI-8 any more, and there are no plans to. With all of the posts about MSD ignitions popping etc. you never hear this about a Crane. I have been using the same Crane HI-7 for 10 years now. Never had an issue. The Crane HI-6 is a much better unit than the MSD 6 anything.. Chris..

During back-to-back tests on the same day the PS-92 picked up .5+ MPH compared to the PS-91 (e.g. from 124.5 to 125+). I wasn't expecting ANY improvement, much less a solid (and consistent) gain.

The rev limiter seems to cut in a little early on mine. Other than that I get quick starts, a reasonable idle and I am confident it will pull more rpm than the engine is mechanically capable of. Since my car is 98% street use I wired it so that I can use a factory box if necessary. Autozone and the like don't usually stock parts like this, so I carry a factory ignition in the trunk. FWIW dept. The HI 6 box will work with a factory coil and the HI 6 coil will work with a factory box.
