Listers:

ignition systems out there for the I/O 360? Mfg and comments good or bad for
each?
Thanks

Yes, this could start a huge thread. I would suggest googling the various
manufacturers you hear and read about. There is a TON of info out there.
Also, I don't know what you are building, but on Van's website are websites
of builders who have gone to great lengths to document their building
process. You will find months of research there. Good luck. PS I went
with the Aerosance FADEC. It is more money up front but it has fuel savings
advantages, plus it runs each cylinder independently. It times ignitions,
meters fuel based on sensor readings. One moving part in the whole system.
Advantage: because fuel is constantly balanced to engine requirements and
EGT and CHT parameters, you should never have to worry about fouling one
plug while overleaning another cylinder and burning plugs or scorching a
cylinder due to momentary inatention or other factors. FWIW.. Godd luck
again in your reasearch,

Al,
I really love our lightspeed. If the other mag goes I'm putting another one
on. Quick starts, almost no RPM drop on mag check.

Al,
I got our lightspeed on their website.I had a problem with a wire and they
took care of it. I think I paid about $900.00 for it. A new mag is pretty
close. They claim you can expect a 10 horsepower boost with 1 lightspeed and
even more if you use 2. I can't tell any difference since we put it on in
the beginning. I will say that this little plane can sure scoot. We cruise
at over 190 and I had another pilot tell me that we could get over 200 if we
keep everything against the wall. I had 2500 with full power at 5500ft and
got consistently 194+mph.
