In a nutshell, the Sprint Mag is a good mag for this application, especially since Brad already has it, if we had to do it over again, he'd suggest the Super Mag, it's got bigger magnets in it and therefore generates a better spark, with that being said, the Sprint is going to work out for us.In short, he & I are going to go through the Sprint, he's going to teach me what I need to know and he's going to recharge or replace the magnets, re curve it and lock in at whatever timing we tell him to.

Between the engine hitting it's full potential and the upcoming pump work, we should see mid 90MPH to low triples with no problems.

I thought he did run@94mph? in parker.pump work ???

ive stayed out of this until NOW, its all a matter of what system you want to run..............................
i ran both and had good luck with both.................................. hell even sunk the boat and the 6al box was under water and ran great the next day..................

so what do you want to spend YOUR  money on either way your spending

oh yeah my mag is a super mag 2 and its locked out with the rev limiter from here
ttp://etcrevlimiters.com/

i know you are tired of chasing your tail, so whip out your wallet and be done with it........
 Yo Ralph.....bout time you stepped up   :thumbup:
i did have my box mounted on the head like you do and moved it to the bulk head with the rubber delio's for viberation.'

Electromotive makes a very cool distributorless ignition system that works bitchen  :thumbup:

I know several people that were running them in the stock car series I was involved in.

http://www.electromotive-inc.com/products/xdi.html

They have a video of a blown injected BBC jet boat with there system installed. (OK the video kind of sucks)  ;D

Looks like they have a new web site also  www.distributorless.com

I've always been kinda interested in the whole mag deal. Isn't running a tach an issue? Are they hard on spark plugs? Don't you need an extra bad ass starter to spin the motor faster to light one off? Don't some mags come with a coil just for starting? O.k I'll shut up now O0

all good questions really...from my undesrtanding on the plugs you just shorten the gap, and your good to go...you need to run solid core plug wires...lighting one off it is recommended to get the motor spinning then hit the ignition and it should light right off...tach....hmmm good question i know that some of the mags have a tach drive dealio its a cable that spins the tach like an old school speedo cable....im not sure if they have electronic ones or not

I should clarify why I don't really like magnitos, the last three motors we had were all Belt driven camshafts (Jesel) and they do not recommend Mag inginition beacause of the torque on the cam...(shortens belt life by 40%)

And the slow crank deal...Sounds like you have a good plan Brad.  :thumbup:

Curious to see how it works out...

My engine seems to start with a signifigant less crank revolutions since I got the box, plus with an MSD 6al you can put a rev limiting pill in it so it your driveshaft were to fail or if you (accidently) :-) caught some air the engine wont over rev.   My dizzy and box stay pretty dry even tho the dizzy is at the rear of the engine...
