if anyone would know it would be sharky cause he has a Crane HI6 ignition...

but from what i have heard if your car is reasonably stock they don't make enough hp increase or noticable difference to go out and get one.

here's the rule that i've stuck to for the past motor. if you aren't making over 250 n/a hp, running f/i or running nos then an ignition isn't very useful. now i'm not saying that it's usless but i'm saying that it's not going to show you THAT much of a gain. it it were me i'd spend money on stuff that makes power... if i had to choose the last three mods i would do to any honda car it would be these.
1. ecu
2. ignition
3. intake (aside from the K&N filter upgrade)

case in point. i ran my car to a dyno and made 210 wheel horsepower with a stock intake with a k&n replacement filter, stock ignition and stock pr3 ecu. they just aren't places where you are going to pick up that much power... and yet people seem to think they are the places to modify first...
anyways i'm ranting... peace...

in addition to what 5gen said...unless you're revving well beytond the stock rev limiter, an ignition also wont make much of a difference.

it will help, but not worth the money unless you have more mods.

I feel that ignition is only good if you have fuel mods. Because what it is there for is to burn more of the fuel in the cylinder. Which if you have stock fuel to air ration then it doesn't matter. Unless you are putting in a bigger fuel pump, fuel rail, injectors, something along those lines.
