Now I am confused...I did it for the same reason and ended with an airplane! :)

Re: Crank Trigger
 

Wow! Tough crowd. I ain't an engineer, nor an electrical genius, but I know a crank trigger is more accurate then a distributor. I have never ran a back to back test to see if one is quicker, I just know one is more stable. Will he pick up if he changes to one? I truly don't know.

Re: Crank Trigger
 

Yes he was. I for one wish they would take him back so he would leave here and quit ruining threads like he has done to this one.

Re: Crank Trigger
 

It would be one thing if it were just this one...but unfortunately it's a long string of threads...:(

Re: Crank Trigger
 

For those that took the short bus to school, the op speciafically asked...

and that question has been answer honestly and accurately by myself and others...
More stable timing on these engines at the RPM they turn and the power they make does NOT result in quicker ETs that can be seen on a time slip and deteremined to be the result of a swap from a locked out billet distributor to a crank trigger.

Now what the op or anyone else decides to run/spend their coin is of no concern to me, I'll continue to spend my coin on parts that I KNOW produces quicker ETs on the time slip, NOT the trick of the week and parts whose reputation is founded in myth, rumor, hearsay and marketing!

It's for this reason why my cars always run quicker ETs as well quicker 60 foots than similar cars at similar weight despite them having more cubes and bigger everything!:p

The truth and the facts are just that.

To the op, my apologies for the nonsense and stupidity that some feel necessary to post, rather than reply to your question.

Way to edit the question Ed...read it again. Pros and cans...is one better. Damn you'd think being an engineer would require being able to understand english unless of course it's not your native language. As usual you've misrepresented even the question to suit you. For your info a crank trigger is NOT "the trick of the week" been around a few days, what rock have you been under? Definately couldn't have a bigger EGO than you. Since you don't run one how can you state there is no gain? again simply your opinion, having absolute control over what the engine is getting for spark and fuel is how one MAKES POWER prolly why you make around 1.5 percube. Yes the OP's question has been answered....there are no cons using a crank trigger (unless your rules don't allow it) given the choice go with what provides the most stable triggering events...directly off the crank.

more CLUELESS comments from one that thinks he knows!

1.82HP per cube!:p

Re: Crank Trigger
 

BTW Ed ignorance is having no knowledge of something...stupidity is having no knowledge but stating that you do or knowing better and doing it anyway. Sound about right? Making claims like you have without knowledge of the subject (you don't run a crank trigger so you don't actually have any REAL experience or data to back your claim) IS simply stupidity. My sons car with a STOCK 460 (with the exception of the cam shaft, bone stock heads and a dual plane intake on a 10 inch slick regularly runs 10 teens, much quicker than similar cars with much bigger engines. Does it make him special....no merely a good combo. So if he were to come on here glorifying himself as gods gift to drag racers, he'd be as full of it as you are. Still waiting for your reply of a second opinion that a dist. based ignition is as good as a crank trigger.

Wonder what it is like to be SO impressed with your car and yourself?
