Mr Swoft how many would be concerned about compression blowing out a spark with a 4.2 head at 2200 rpm. A 10:1 head at 7K, that would be different .
Spark, timing, coils, points and such can be confusing and could be a great thread to clarify from. To many, timing and ignition and spark is just shoving a pin in a hole
Well, I don't see how a new coil would fire any sooner. Electrical current would travel at the same speed in either coil. If anything, a performance coil likely has more turns of wire around the core, so current would take longer to complete the circuit but this would be insignificant, even meaningless.
