Does anyone have any input on the coil for a new 7AL3? Does the 8201 underperforme? If so I want to upgrade but do I need to? Thanks

Works properly with the 7al3 in Drag Race Only mode.

Today I was able to purchase a new MSD7AL3 new in the box. The racer I bought it from decided to go with the grid and he had never opened it. Finally..

Great purchase. Consider using the 2/3 step and RPM output features of the new 7al3 and remove the add on boxes that you presently use. The retard feature (both start and triggered) of this newer Black 7al3 work excellent talking to several I know using this ignition.

Consider them gone as of today. Mr. Woodfin is also bringing me an 8251 coil and then I should be set to collect.

Gasoline is faster than methanol. I could prove it easily on my car.

If I thought it would end the debate, I would.


WRONG,
It all depends on the motor and combination. Gas may be quicker in killer air or 18 degree or more canted valve motors due to the efficiency. I have proven it the other way on almost every car I have had, which is a lot, just to make sure motors are broken in well before racing them. It may be that way for your car, not saying it isn't but to make a blank statement like that is truly ridiculous.


How many 23 degree sbc's with 23 Brodix cylinder heads have you proven it with?

BTW That's what we're discussing,,,, 23 sbc, Brodix cylinder heads, no other *motors* I'm aware of.


Wrong.....I have run both and alcohol is faster than gas on my combo....23* head.
It all depends on the combo and the efficiency as stated before.....many slips to prove it

Well it's been a minute since I had the Sunfire at the track. Between being super busy with work and my mother being in really poor health I just wasn't able to make it happen. March 23rd at XRP will be doing some time runs and testing the new BTE converter. I hope to run several good races around our area this year. LC
