Thanks Jeff. It's not that I'm looking for something different than what I have, I'm just trying to understand what the short comings are of a waste spark system. I'm burning pure alcohol. Certainly not the easiest type of mixture to fire. I've run it at ratios approaching 4 to 1. Even harder to fire. So far I've been to 32 psi boost, and with a high overlap cam by most peoples standards for a turbo engine. I'm running a waste spark system that has been flawless on top of it all. I'm just looking for a reasonable explanation why everyone is so against waste spark.
