It seems like such a backwards move to me. If there was a problem with running the XFI system in a wastespark configuration, not a strong enough spark, then I could understand. Even then, it would seem like a bandaid fix. But, if the wastespark was doing fine and you added the extra components to go back to a distributor setup. That makes no sense to me. The short comings of a distributor are well known. Has technology changed that much in a distributor that it is now preferred over the simpler and more accurate wastespark? Why haven't OEMs gone back to distributors? It would seem to me that if there was any advantage to going back to the days of distributors, the OEMs would be all over it. Trying to understand this. Is it just a nostalgic fad?
