I just wanted to make sure I shouldn't be running a vacuum advance befor I dropped the dough on it.
I talked to several racers who recommended the various setups. The only thing I'd like to do is change out the springs in the distributor and see how that helps/hurts. The Digital 6 handles the rest.

So, I trusted what they said and so far it's been a great decision for my application which is a driver to and from work occasionally, and out on the weekends cruising around. It's got about 5000 miles on it now but it's never been HAMMERED and ragged on yet. The most it's seen is about 4250 and that was fun!

Not a bad price.
