why did he say it was hit or miss what about it makes it not a good candidate

Sometimes it works for peoples combo's sometimes it doesnt. Like I posted before he said theyre not meant to be on a race motor, mainly stockers or cam only motors that dont see much abuse.

So its a heap of shit that cant keeop up to the demand of a real motor. fuck that thing then. run a pcm with EFI or straight carb with that dizzy drive.

:owned: lol

Been doing a lot of looking around for shortblock combos/ heads and cam combos though.

This is what MSD told me: The 6010-6012 LS series controllers were designed to drop and OEM or OEM replacement motor into something like a street rod. There are no increases in output like a 6AL or 7AL and you're going to be limited in the amount of cylinder pressure you can run safetly without blowing the spark out. Since this unit has been released this is the only time we've run into this problem.

but thats the limitations of the COILS not the box..... and your talking some SERIOUSSSSS pressures to blow out a coil on plug ignition system.

Yeah you are going to get much better spark coil on plug Vs a Dizzy

The front drive kit is much more popular for my situation unless I was sticking to EFI and using coils. From what I've seen a lot of people arent happy with the boxes.

I think I have a shortblock narrowed down a bit.

Stock crank
Scat Forged H beam rods
Diamond Pistons 11-11.5:1 CR
Plasma Moly rings
Clevite Bearings
ARP main studs possibly

I want to make this into a 370ci motor but we'll see. For now its just planning everything out.

sick

sounds familiar, pretty much the guts of my engine
