Rev-a-Nator
« on: August 23, 2012 - 10:43:11 AM »
Just read the article from Mopar Muscle (3,2,1 tech) magazine and I think i am going to purchase this unit. Great performance stats. looks easy to set-up looks close to a stock unit minus the ground cable set switch and RPM range lights.

Looks like a win-win situation.  Stock look, simple install, 10-40 extra hp, not bad...   :grinyes:

I got one. Bolted it on last week, already had the timing at 32*. Car runs much smoother, the idle is bether. The timing is much more stable. I love it. Rev limiter is easy to use, and it runs alot cleaner up in the revs. Go get one!  :2thumbs:

Thanks for the input!

I must admit, I'm a Little skeptical of the hp claims?  :-\
Is this just a repackaged MSD type do dad?

no multiple spark to my knowledge but better electronics [what else is advancing as fast as electronics] stock looking but including a rev limiter , only 2 years too late for my Chall but I may have to get one yet .

In the mopar muscle mag it shows the dyno gains they started with a orange box, then got better with a chrome box, then the revanator blew em both away. Good read.

it seems they suggest a ballast resistor for street use....hard for me to accept buying a modern ignition system that must have a ballast. 
The claims of more hp may be true when compared to a system that was not quite right.   It's hard to find an honest hp gain when comparing systems that are working right.

Looks like a nice system outside of the ballast requirement.  Looks like they could have found transistors that will handle the current like other modern systems.
