i have done quite a few mods and was gettin low 5.6 seconds.. i baught the fst cdi and put it on and my times were alot slower and less consistant.. i also have the kick back thing.. anyone have any ideas or lose performance with this cdi?

thanks nick

 

To bad you dont have a pull rope. You could get around the kick back by using it. I dont have any comments on the times other than try another cdi and see if it changes.

 

Have you contacted Mickey, he is no longer on any of the forums so you would need to call him! He said the internet was taking up too much of his time and keeping him away from the stuff that pays the bills!

 

He once stated that he was designing the Procom box for that company. Is the FST box a Procom?

 

its a fst cdi.. i called up fst to get it.. but im goin to call him tomarrow and talk to him.. thanks

 

Hi KFX700, do you have an advance key or slotted pickup on your V.
We run the FST box on our V (with a 3 deg key, for short drags)
Our V runs 5.2-5.25 sec in 300 ft with the stk box and consistant 5.2's with the odd 5.1 with the FST box.
That's with the HMF duals, we have tested some other exhaust's on the dyno that are better and will be testing these on the test track soon.

not yet.. i was goin to run a 4 degree key along with the cdi but the cdi was in fact defective and ill have a new one this week

 

dynoray... what kind of clutch mods are you running? when you say 5.2 with stock box are yout talkin bout air box?

 

Hi KFX700, by stk box I meant the stk CDI. (we do run the stk airbox, modded) We run the Dalton kit with 1 gram heavier weights.
Don't run an offset key with Mickey's CDI (except for short drags, ie: 200-300ft)
With stk timing, Mickey's CDI picks up 2-3 HP over stk CDI. (These numbers will vary depending on the mod's done to your engine) With a 3 deg key it makes about 2 HP more at 5000-6000 RPM, about the same power as stk CDI from 6200-7500 but you will lose as much as 3 HP from 7700-8300. This is ok for short drags because we don't shift out untill about 350-370 ft.

well you know bout everything[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] haha thanks for all that info.. i deffenetly dont want to lose top end HP so i guess ill just go with the cdi ( i do all ready have it coming)... have you dyno just the 6 degree key? i do not have any motor mods as of right now...

so are you running big bores to get in the 5.2s and 5.1s?
