hi greg
            i agree with you the arsg is a good performer with regards to
sparklength most coils i have seen give better length on a sync than sync
the only things i will say is they stress caps due to high voltage spikes
and stress transformers due too kickback but then isnt that always the
compromise performance for reliability
cheers
