Jeff. I don't remember saying anything about bearing wear. If something I said came across that way I apologize because I don't think it will affect bearings at all. I may have misunderstood something or worded something wrong in the process. I did say it will lower egt's....seen it on the racepak data.
We did it for the 2 step function as a #1 priority. The DIS 4's were junk and could crap out at any time.
Don, Domestics don't use spools or nitrous either. We're talking race cars No doubt a good waste spark system will work as will a coil on plug. We made the decision due to racing on a pro tree where launch consistency is a priority. The distributor is the easiest way to accomplish this.
If you race regularly the cap and rotor should be changed about twice a year because they do burn out. I have ran the same cap and rotor for over a full year, well over 120 passes with street driving as well with no issues but I replace them now as a safety factor to avoid issues.
Like has already been said. The distributor is nothing more than an element in the spark system. There is no vacuum advance or condenser. You run 1 tab on the reluctor for cam sync purposes.
If we race a car with a transbrake...it gets a distributor.
