Protronics verses Compu-fire | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Ok, I have both types in my stocks, Which one is more reliable?

I would also like to ask which rezister works best to lower the line voltage going into the ignition. ( part # and suppliers)

The best one is going on the BN-2 heater for continious Ignition.

I spoke to a local racer. and he prefer's protronic's for street use. But highly recemend updating the coil to eather a hyfire VI or a MSD unit

So? If you really want to inprove your gas mileage and have a hotter ignition.

Mistry solved.

Opps Please forgive my haste. Pertronic's

I already have one of each as spares in the shop. But I will have to get 2 coil packs.
