OK, I can buy the fact that misfires raise EGTs in a waste spark system. Two of the stock igntion systems in a 6 coil arrangement would still misfire as badly as the stock system, but probably not contribute to the EGT problem. The E-motive provides the benefits of multiple coils and high performance ignition drivers.

A coil dwell of 2.5 Ms from a single coil sounds pretty short for a high revving, high output motor. And this at only 6000 RPM and decreasing with revs. With several EFI systems I have worked with, I have wound up with much bigger dwell times at higher RPMs for best performance. No doubt that the Mega -Joule, flamethrower MSD boxes help with a distributor and single coil, but I think that this is running the ignition system on the edge, where the slightest problem in the secondary circuits can cause big problems. I see multiple coils being a big benefit in setting optimum dwell times.

Being an electrical engineer, I trust (quality) electronics over mechanical things and brute force high voltage systems. To me, more coils don't add unnecessary complication when they can eliminate long ignition wires and caps/rotors. The whole secondary system is under much less stress - everything less critical.

Still, ya can't argue with what works for folks, and obviously the distributors do work. As a long-time lurker here, I'm amazed at the results some guys on this forum get.

I do have to admit to "the more electronics the better syndrome" - that's just how I roll.
