[QUOTE="C5Performance, post: 95706, member: 2938"] I haven't posted much information about the details of curves, selectors, and specific technology for three reasons. First, i just joined the forum and i'd like to contribute in other ways than just ignitions. Second, introducing a new product to forums tends to bring out the "that'll never work" crowd, and i dont care to argue on every post about why i believe optics are better than Hall Effect sensors. Lastly, i have been cruising MSD and Dyna's websites to find out how their systems work. There isnt any info about it. Our website has 10 times the information already. Although i am not sure how many of you have cruised our site yet. This is why i started this thread...to begin a question and answer area for more specific topics. To answer one question right away, you can control the C5 using engine vacuum if you wish. There are two sensors on the GL system. They can be triggered by toggle switch, rotary switch, vacuum sensor (like a Harley), or a MAP sensor. I have not shipped any kits with vacuum or MAP sensors yet but we are working on a kit. By providing feedback to the system, it can change curves as needed, or using the rotary switch you could decide when to change curves. [/QUOTE]
