Overall Assessment

Customers consistently praise the product for its ability to enhance car performance, particularly by fixing high RPM misfires and stabilizing sparks to prevent plug fouling. The addition of a rev limiter was a widely appreciated feature. The majority of users experienced improved performance and found it simple to install. However, some wish it maintained a more stock appearance and were seeking further power enhancements. The product was preferable to comparable items from other brands, notably outperforming the pertronix flame thrower.

Guarnteed perfomance

With the OEM module installed I had a distinct miss over 6000 rpm. after installing this heat module, the miss went away, and in my opinion, the performance of my dirt track car improved slightly. My previous unit lasted me 5 1/2 seasons. Cant go wrong with this unit.

Works well

Fixed my high rpm misfire. Only reason it gets less than 5* is that it doesn't appear stock. It has a extra wires and if they pull the cap its clear this is not OEM. This same part inside a stock looking module would be better. That being said, the pertronix flame thrower failed on me after two nights which is what lead me to this. Happey with it, bit I wish I could have this performance in a stock looking package.

so far no advantage to a stock GM module on a 500+hp carburated car... except having a rev limiter. car might start a very little bit better but idle seemed weaker & no noticeable difference in any RPM up to 6000 vs the stock module. makes for an expensive rev limiter!

I drive 4 mile to & from work, had trouble with fouling plugs on 350 Chevy street car. Put this module in with an HEI Blaster Coil and stabilized spark, no more fouled plugs.
