Benefits: Powerful Spark, Wasted Ignition, Less moving parts and no cut and shut dizzy.

You will need a P8 ecu with appropriate board to run the dual ignition amps and to convert to a cam phase sensor (you may already have this if you run a 'gadget' style trigger). You will also need FRST leads, coilpack, mounting bracket and a blanking plate for the side of the head where the dizzy sat.

Further benefits: less jitter in spark advance as sensor read crank directly, easy to advance/retard cam without affecting ignition advance. The spark is really powerful too. Seems like you can use any plug, any gap, any boost, it just works.
