Guest Spyder550 Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 I wish these had been around when I had my LT4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 That's cool, but IMO it doesn't add anything to the market, unless it will be priced nicely. Dynaspark already makes a beefed up Opti. The problem is the damn thing is way too freaking expensive ($600). There are two main problems with the Optispark: the cap/rotor which can have problems with high RPM use (missing at high RPM, quickly wearing w/ aftermarket ignitions, rotor coming apart with sustained high RPM use). The cap/rotor are also not supposed to be servicable, though you can buy them at parts stores....the only problem is if you took the time to replace them, it only makes sense to replace the whole unit. The other is water damaging the disc the optical unit reads off of. Proper sealing/venting help a lot w/ the moisture issue (which is why the 95-97 vented Optis have less problems, and why I converted to that). The most popular solution right now is to remove the rotor out of the cap, and run either the LTCC or Delteq coil pack setups. People running either single plane intakes or those who decide to machine their stock intakes will run the MSD crab style distributor. Delteq, for about a year, has been working on their "Stage 2" opti eliminator setup, which is supposed to fully get rid of the Optispark unit, by having its own device to read the position of the cam. This will be the only option to fully rid yourself of the Optispark (other than Dynaspark, and looks like this MSD unit, which are still basically Optispark units). The only other way to do it is to run an aftermarket PCM (FAST, DFI, MoTec, etc.). If MSD can price this new distributor at the ~$200 range, they will have a product that really hits the mark. Otherwise.....just something else we don't really "need." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Check this out (Page 5): http://msdignition.com/pdf/2005-MSD-npp.pdf I should have read the first link closer; it's just a cap/rotor. They better be selling this pretty cheaply, otherwise screw that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
