something with boost retard and that you can control timing....a boosted motor and on NOS depending on the shot will need a good tune

Are you looking for brand names or specific ignition systems?

I'd appredciate it if folks could tell me why they are recommending the ones they are as well as what they offer over the competition & what their experience has been with whatever units they have used.

I like it mainly for the timing retard. There are two, one for start up ( i have my dizzy locked) and another one to retard timing when spraying. Also a two step rev limiter.

I'm leaning towards a Mallory system, but I'm not sure which one I should go with.

why not an MSD 6BTM with the rev limiter and boost sensitive timing control all inegrated. Theyr'e not that expensive either.
