    Make it worth the read and chime in, this is a spinoff of the coil thread. Michael stated brass terminals on a dist cap are illegal.conductive_order.jpg

    I would run whatever cap I wanted to (as long as it did not have flames on it). I can't see any performance improvement from a dist. cap. JMHO. Like on the Opticrap. If there is a unit made by anyone that will not fail every other year (or event) and gives no power improvement I say let them run them. I have seen too many guys have to change that POS at the track.

    Even if it did give a power improvement, it should be accounted for on the dyno and would still have to reside within the boundaries of the power/weight table. Just don't make any changes during the season that could potentially produce different numbers and you should be OK, right?

    There you go thinking about the underlying intent of the series again...
