If we can get at least ten people involved in the group buy, we can get it for the price above. If you're interested, please go to our site:

Does this require an additional harness or is everything needed included?

Just wanted to make a correction on what Rich said on this Group buy. This is not a Group Buy. Only the first 10 people gets this price and once we get them out of our inventory, the price will go back up to our normal price. If you want one, you need to hurry because I'm not expecting this to last too long.

The twinpower took all of 2 minutes to install with the harness. I purchased mine from someone on the other forum(ErnieT) and it made a big difference top end. I also paid $350 for the twinpower and the harness USED, so $50 for a NEW one is CHEAP! I would jump on this if I were you guys!

I did an internet search to try and find some more info on this unit but did not find what I was looking for. Can you adjust your rev limit with this? I ask because until I get a power fc or aem I'm looking for a way I can set the limit to around 4k rpm or so. I had to get my windshield replaced awhile back and there was an additional 3 miles on my odometer (god I hate joy riders!) Thanks for any info.



Regards,

Frank

FlyRx7, The Twin power Ignition amplifier does not allow you to control the rev limit. Its simply just an ignition amplifier. here is the description below if you want to know more about it.





The Twin Power ignition amplifier incorporates both the CDI and transistor method ignition to provide optimum spark duration and maximum voltage output, resulting in crisper throttle response and a smoother engine powerband. The CDI method, capacity discharge ignition, provides maximum voltage by transferring all stored energy in the capacitor to the ignition coil so that the ignition current can buildup quickly, thus making the Twin Power very effective in the higher revs where a normal spark would tend to diminish. This strong rapid spark prevents the high rpm ignition miss that reduces peak power. The transistorized method generates high voltage by using transistors to cut off current to the coil, thus allowing for a long energy discharge. This longer spark duration allows the Twin Power to improve lower RPM throttle response and torque. The combination of the CDI and the transistor method incorporates two distinct systems into one high performance unit, hence the designation of Twin Power. The Twin Power produces a spark output that is typically 1.5-2.5 stronger than of the stock ignition system and consumes about 35% less power input than other ignition amplifiers. Each compact and attractive Twin power unit is constructed of durable anodized aluminum and sealed to prevent corrosion from moisture. General wiring harnesses are included in each unit to aid in installation and mounting. Vehicle Specific wiring harnesses are also available for certain models to further aid in installations that require intricate integration.(CARB E.O. # D-186-22)



Dimensions: All Twin Power Units, except for DLI II, are 91mm (L) x 80mm (W) x 34.5mm (H) and weighs Approximately 430g (~15.2oz)
