Hey everybody,

I have used MSD ignitions for years.  I have installed them on
everything from V8's to rotaries.  The results are ALWAYS the same.
Better power, economy, and driveability.  It is simply a matter of
burning a larger portion of the fuel, and speeding the rate of
combustion.  A rotary seems to benefit from this more than anything
else.  The combustion in a rotary is VERY bad, and anything that can be
done to improve it will really pay off.

Like a bunch more spark plugs. See the ACRE web site :-)
