Vile, I would agree but he said it's street driven only and doesn't take it over 3800 rpm. A stock HEI performs well at almost double that so he should probably keep that side simple. He's got enough problems as it is without throwing in wiring an aftermarket ignition in the mix.

An HEI performing well at 7600 RPMS? where? lol Performing better at higher RPMS isn't the only advantage of an enhanced ignition system. Take any daily driver with a well tuned HEI and plop in a nice enhanced igniton system. You'll never want an HEI again.

Oh I'm not arguing Vile, I agree an upgrade in ignition is worth the money and trouble. I'm just saying in this particular case..........

I'm not arguing either just feel that the ignition system is always over looked and is a potential for excellent results...

As a third party it sounds to me like you are arguing. But from what I've read I think you are both right in this case. For Robry the factory HEI setup will do, but if at some point down the road he feels more confident with is engine building and wiring skills then he should absolutely junk the HEI for a real nice ignition setup.

Not to sound like a jerk, but what do you mean by enhanced igntion system? Do you mean a MSD 6A or something? Or do you have another way to control ignition, advance?
