I have the Rev-N-Nator on my street driven 70 Charger now for many years with no issues. I have seen none of the more horsepower or starts easier claims as they claim since my car always fires right up anyway but I do like the rev limiter feature just in case I ever over rev it.

I agree as it is just a fancy on/off switch for the coil pri current on the neg side. However it must open when the pickup tells it to/no electronic delay (pulled timing issue on some exp the orange boxes) and be capable of handling however much current that is flowing in that coil pri circuit as some coils/no ballast setups will flow more than others

Reading through the RevNNator website I found a couple of clues to the huge hp gain they tested. the largest hp gain was on a bigblock with total timing set at 32 degrees. That's six degrees retarded from normal best power advance for B/RBs, which is 38 degrees. So a faster acting switch will act like the spark is advanced two degrees, adding more advance to an engine that clearly needs it.
Wow good find! That is a pretty slick trick on their part, admittedly..

Never seen a 40 horse gain from +2 timing increase. Unless it was on PowerBlock TV... LMFAO.

They don't do anything special that you can't achieve with an MSD for much less money. They always compare these things to old-as-dirt Mopar controllers vs actual modern competitors. I like the MDS stuff too but I think the Rev-n-ator is more for guys that want to keep the stock look. I always ran MSD in my race cars, my current street car has a Pertronix IgnitorIII billet distributor, it is literally a 2-wire hookup plus a power wire, and has a built-in rev limiter. It works great but it required grinding alot off the Eddy RPM cylinder head to get it to fit.

Darth, The Rev-n-nator can add any where from a 10- 40 hp gain depending on your engine application. The hp gain is over any stock box including chrome, proves it everytime in the dyno challenges.
We never claimed to add 10-40 over msd, but we do average more hp and torque than an msd 6al What gaps are you running, and what brand plugs? Thanks.

Remember the Rev-n-nator is a speciality peice for the Mopar die hard guy and unlike Street fire, ours is made in the U.S.A. with much higher quality components.
And manufacturing in the U.S.A. does cost more.
But that being said we are still cheaper than many China made ignition systems out there such as msd when everything is said and done.
