Jordan, I know this. I just want to know how you're hooking them up
Listen Sloppy West, don't get short with me
hehe. BUt seriously, I was always under a (albiet false now) assumption that the stock ECU wasn't able to trigger them properly.
If you wouldn't mind, PM/Facebook me with more info - 'spoonfeed me baby'
In the meantime I'll be reading these threads you posted

THis is what I was getting at - I was always under the impression that the spark time would require different 'optimal' timing...thus putting most Stock or Rom based guys out without help. I do understand the 'increased voltage' aspect, but still don't know how well they would work on stockish applications.
Riding of the ignitor though is always a great thing, as so many people have issues with them as it is (i haven't, but a nice thing to not worry about)

I meant in respect to how much draw on the system, but it really won't be much more than stock as it's a simple 12v (or it ground i forget) signal to fire them as they are. I was a bit 'off' when I wrote that.
