Good question? I have no idea how these thing's work anyway so I can't say, but if it really does this, then DG's tech guy has figured out something the other module makers haven't been able too.......And I guarentee they won't reveal how it does this, I don't blame them....Why give the competition an edge?........

Not that I know anything about this, but when I was talking to Don last week, he said thet the DG3 does not go above the factory rev limit, it just gets the bike to top speed and rpm quicker then the stock.

At least thats what I think he said.

This was my second time out with my replacement Dyna cdi and about 25 miles from camp it popped a couple of times and quit on me. I was towed back to camp and reinstalled my stock cdi and it runs fine again. We tried the Dyna on a different Prairie but it would pop but not start. I have had enough this time, I am ordering the DG3. My friends have them and there has NEVER been a problem and I still believe throttle response is better on there quads! Foof for thought

Ross650,

I hear you expense is a big part especially when you modd one thing then it seems it starts to snow ball. If I do this then I can try that and on and on. The modules do help especially when you don't want to go any further the extra timing is a big help on the take off. An inexpensive red spring can do the same as the module and for much less you just have to get used to the higher clutch engagement. I understand there is another company trying to come out with a programmable cdi one that can be interchanged from the V to the P but that will to be tested. Who knows what the expense will be there. I have spent a few dollars on my machine but most of it I have had from other machines that I adapted, more time than I care to remember. A hobby that can be a job after awhile.

Stakk,

Just thought I would get my 2 cents in there, couldn't resist lol. Just a little over site though no module keeps 28* past 6500 rpm!!!!!!

Hi Alltoys, seems to me I remember you pushing modules on this site and you thought they were great then; especially the Nabors module. Nabors originally sold diamond g's module. Then you started making a version and selling directly to them according to Nabors. Pushing their module equaled money in your pocket - its as simple as that. You were one of the first to test the Dyna ignition. Of course, yours was free for helping spread the word on the net. That is when the module bashing really started. When all the technical problems started with the Dyna, kick backs, knocking, etc. many looked to you for an answer after all you really pushed it and many respected your opinion. Your suggested fix was to vent the gas cap? Then we did not hear from you for a very long time. Now, the rumor is you are starting your own business or helping design products not sure which. I am sure when your next money making venture is released, you will be pushing it hard and everything else will be junk. I know this may sound harsh but I enjoy coming here and reading what real people have to say; not words from people who are only looking to make a name for themselves by bashing products or to line their pockets. This site is more meaningful and relevant when ordinary folks express their opinion of the products they PURCHASE and use. Truth without a hidden agenda.

A complete CDI unit IS the way to go - if I didn't already have a 6 degree key and a module, I'd do it the right way and get an aftermarket CDI.
BTW - as I have stated, and Alltoys also, there is no module that will force the stock CDI to hold 28 degrees advance to the red line. It's B.S., if not, and the proof is printed, I will stand corrected.

Howdy,
I have read this post many times and one thing stands out. The Holeshot had a better time than the DG3. This has to be an aberration of some sort. I have done the same test in the pasture of truth and it was no contest. The DG3 was at least 4-5 lengths better. Something is not kosher with that finding at the drag strip. Have a goodun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Dyna CDI (a properly working one, lol) couldn't pull 4-5 quad lengths over the Holeshot in 300ft!! I have no idea how the DG3, especially w/o a degree key, can.
Just a thought - was the Holeshot working right during the "pasture" drag races?? Sounds like the CDI wasn't getting ANY speed sensor/module input at all. That would give 4-5 quad lengths in a race.

I have tested both the Dyna CDI and the DG3 module at 350'. While the CDI was .06 "I repeat" .06 of a second faster is that enough to justify the cost of over $100 more?? Im not running a degree key either. I have also raced nyroc with my old original DG holeshot module and nyroc had the China cdi and we raced even several times at 350'.

For those who dont believe me nyroc is on here all the time and he can verify this.

Back to the topic, Mike W, give us an update to where you are with the testing.

Howdy,
the 2 quads that were run in the pasture were within 1-1/2 lengths of each other with Holeshots. The only difference was the DG3 added to one of them. It was a measured 300' run. It was run from a dead stop once and from a rolling start the next time. The results were the same both times. Have a goodun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
