I heard about ignition upgrades, and only saw one guy that had it in a pic. Not really familiar with that, can you guys explain what it does or what it adds and how much?

Dunno if it's me you're talking about but to avoid me repeating the speech, all the info is on my website in the Engine section.

The Jacobs Pro-Street ignition system is what I installed in my Max and it is brilliant. But if you have a VE motor, you can forget about it since you need a distributor ignition system to incorporate this. Coil-pack type ignition systems cannot be worked on as a result.

Jacobs and MSD

I have heard good things about both Jacobs and MSD they are both used on the race track.

I installed a MDS ignition on my Jeep CJ7 because of what I learned from Team Rush a race guy out of Texas I think. He posts a lot on the http://bbs.off-road.com Jeep short wheel base forum. I would read about how every body that did his upgrade loved it so I tried it not knowing what kind of improvement to expect. The spark is supposed to be better or something.

But what I really noticed was that it lost the sluggish acceleration and will now lay rubber.

I think that his name is Aaron and e-mail address is TeamRush1-AT-excite.com

I've yet to perfect it, but you will find that it is a framed page (left and right) and you can adjust those borders as such. If you're seeing the pic, try pulling up the border from under the pic and the pull one from the left side of the pic in a right direction. That will expose the rest of the page. It's best viewed at 1024x768.
