i have a 350+bhp saff, just wondering is there any down side to doing a wasted spark conversion,roughly how much it cost to get it done please?

Well worth fitting. My car runs so much smoother.
It's basically a modern car style ignition system, gives a stronger spark and fires on 2 spark plugs at a time instead of 1-3-2-4 or what ever cossie's order of spark is, Gets rid of the need for a distributor.
Just fit as per instructions with the 2 pins through the grommet and making sure this (picture) is removed and the 2 wires going into it are put together.

You then don't get the chronic misfiring, nor need to run tiny plug gaps, which otherwise would be needed on higher power Cosworth's.
The dizzy IS still required for the phase sensor and also it can't simply be removed as it's part of the oil pump drive, so this needs machining work etc it can be removed and the sensor needs moving to the cam cover.
