[QUOTE="C5Performance, post: 97605, member: 2938"] Yes, we have kits for British bikes, Japanese, Harley, Italian, Russian, etc... When we installed our first Chevy V-8 kit, it was in that orange Corvette you see on our website. After 4-5 runs while steadily advancing the distributor, we swapped in the C5 and gained....ready for it....drum roll......I can't take the suspense.....18 REAR WHEEL horsepower. That's a 20% gain over the "best" run with the Chevy HEI distributor. Such a fuss they made. The shop owner ran the car 8 more times trying to get a dyno reading that showed our ignition wasn't really making that big of a change. In the end, he decided to be our first automotive dealer and was the first customer for our Mopar ignition. I will tell you that not all engines show hp increases on the dyno (Gary will agree). You do notice better starts, faster warm ups, and stronger running that you FEEL but sometimes cannot measure. On the Vette, it's the first time the owner could smoke the tires since he bought the car 10 years ago. It really sounded nasty and mean after the upgrade. [/QUOTE]
