Dan,
        We've put a Crane/Allison in our GT6 and it has been well worth the
money. There's so much left to deal with and if you know _anything_ about
your igntion system you can have it installed in less than an hour.
Incredibly simple. Also, some people say this is snake oil, but I believe
it: you do get a couple more horses. Here's why: since everything eelectric
and pretty much contianed (i.e. not a lot of places the spark to jump
before it gets to the cylinder), you get a slightly stronger spark inside
the engine because you haven't lost as much as you would with a regular
ingntion. Well, I hope this helps.
