I would love to try one out.  Just can't stomach the price tag.  More account timing does give better throttle response too.  Just the price.  what is it anyway?

I think he meant to type "accurate timing".

I believe the PA ignition wants to use its own coils. At least the C5-branded version requires their coils and the C5 is based upon the PA.
A quick search on the CycleX website has this:

IGNITION COILS

Pick the right type of coil, do not use paper section coils only use section bobbin coils. Section bobbin coils allow for fast rise times and improved reliability.  Power Arc only sells section bobbin coils.


Thanks for the info. At the end I modifyed the frame a little bit more to squize coils
