Hi Marc

We started with the Bendix, but now have two huge Joe Hunt Magnetos - rare
earth magnets, external Top Fuel coils, with about 450mj output. The reason
we opted for magnetos in our drag racing application is we need 400 - 900mj
of spark energy of long duration, to burn all the alcohol. The best digital
systems only put out 170mj at the plug (except the MSD-7 system, which is
the best at 700mj)and have short duration. Some advertise multiple spark
technology, but reading the fine print, that is only available under
3000rpm. These mags are mini arc welders :-)
