I want to get a multispark ignition for my daughter's street car that she races. I want a built in rev limiter, and do not want MSD.

Looking at the Summit ($150), Mallory 6AL2 ($270) or????

What are your experiences or recommendations?

---

I have a Mallory Hyfire 685 box in my car, and I have to say I love it! Works great! All my friends were MSD but since seeing my box have all switched over to the same one lol

tons of features for the price

wish i could give you some good advice. every ign system i buy the company stops making them after i buy it. i have an awesome Crane HI6 in my 'cuda. it works very very well but Crane went out of bussiness, i have a Holley Pro Strip Anihilator in my race car. again very very happy with it & it works extremely well, except Holley don't make them anymore. you want to get rid of something on the market let me know, i'll buy one & they'll stop making it.

Summit's had tons of returns on the Summit brand boxes.

So true, all of the copy-cats products don`t seem to survive like MSD. I know some have had troubles but there`s a lemon in every product out there. Since I mounted my 6-series box under my dash, I`ve had zero problems.

thats one of the biggest problems for ignition box failures in my opinion, guys mount em in the engine bay. I have mine under the dash, and even isolated by itself there it gets HOT...I can just imagine under the hood

But if under hood it gets air flow, inside it
most likely doesnt get any air flow

airflow or not, its still way too hot under the hood in my opinion, and i doubt inside the car will ever get that hot- ive gone on close to 3 hours straight of driving in very hot weather with my box mounted under the dash and no problems yet...not to mention I just cant stand the look of an ignition box bolted to the inner fender, especially on a chrysler where they make it look like a shelf

OEM mounts them under the hood on a lot of vehicles. Nontheless heat is not a good thing on electronics.
