Dennis, I have no clue how you are supposed to set that thing up. I did some research on it when you first told me about it, but couldn't find much in the way of real details. From what I've found in the past, programmable advance systems tend to set the "static" timing at TDC, and then calculate the desired advance. What are the options for the advance curves? The stock timing at full advance is 35* BTDC at around 2500 RPM, but since you want to retard the timing by 5*, is there an available curve for that? Will this system produce a better spark than the Dyna, or is it more like the Dyna 2000 that had similar features, but produced the same spark as the standard Dyna S. The system Mike mentioned also seems to be an inductive type spark, judging from the coil's primary resistance.
The only thing you are gaining is a rev limiter, which won't make you faster.
Springs and weights can tailor the advance curve, but it's all-in well below the power band, so it's not really an issue.
Russ Collins said the Gerex CDI was one of the few ignitions that actually made more HP.
Jerry moved on to do ignitions for Maserati or Ferrari or some other exotic car company..
