Nope, due to our issues a few months back, which I thought were over with, at least with the President of the company , I think it was towards me.

 

Since I initially open this discussion by asking for input about this product, I'm a little disappointed that when the vendor stepped in, they didn't address the original question...That is, what will their product do for me, an owner of a seemingly satisfactorily functioning OE product.

If my OE Opti wasn't working well, I certainly would be quick to replace it, hopefully with a better product. What I was interested in finding out was HOW MUCH better the DynaSpark may be. Not to be sarcastic, but I'm not really interested in how many countires it's shipped to. I'm interested in whether or not it will improve the performance of my car, and if so, is it strictly in the upper RPM range, or something that will be noticed on a daily driver.

 

I like seeing alternatives to the Opti-Spark.
If there was only the OEM Opti-Spark, there wouldn't be a discussion on what to use.

As far as I know, these are/were the alternatives:
1) Electromotive Opti-Eliminator, used crankshaft triggering ( no longer available )
2) Dynaspark
3) LTCC
4) Delteq -- chief electircal engineer also did the Electromotive Opti-Eliminator.

Plus, you can combine the DynaSpark with the LTCC or Delteq.

I'm sure all these vendors have good intentions.

A choice is a good idea.

There are pros and cons to each, and each individual needs to make a decision on what is important to him.
Like: if you took your car to a GM dealership to trouble-shoot a problem, which ones would they even look at -- my guess is the OEM Opti-Spark or Dynaspark only. With the Delteq or LTCC, you are own your own with the help of customer service at each. But then, Pete at Delteq (the only one I have experience with) is top-notch for customer service and extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Plus, there are certified installers at some locations and the installation manual has trouble-shooting procedures.
So, each person has to determine what is important to him and how comfortable he is with his own mechanical/electrical capabilities with assistance -- the best product in the wrong hands can be a disaster.

6800 RPM limit with our product for those that asked (ABOVE LT4 limit)and many of them are being successfully used in NHRA/IHRA Stock Eliminator where trap RPM is 7400-7800.

 

It wouldn't have mattered what the dyno results where. People would still feel the need to disagree with them.

Some of the forum "experts" seem to miss the entire point of the article. The LT1 to LT4 converstion did and does increase horse power. In my Corvette there were problems with the OEM opti and we informed everyone what I used to correct it. Another choice would have been to purchased an OEM opti.

If you don't like the products simply don't buy them. I am more than happy with the results and felt other Corvette owners would like to know my results.

Lt1 to LT4 was the main focus of the article.

 

Charlie, I certainly did not intend to "drag you through the mud" when I started this discussion, and I sincerely hope you understand that. It's just that the article, which featured your car, brought up a question on my part.

What has me a bit puzzled, however, is that the Dyno Tech person is taking offense that some folks are "dissing" his product, yet still side stepping my question. Does the DynaSpark distributor deliver $600 worth of "bang for the buck" over a seemingly OK OptiSpark unit. That's all I was trying to establish....

 

No one is "side stepping" anything, so we're not sure where that came from....

We've already posted on this board *numerous* times about the quality, fitment, performance of our product...

We've had scores of actual users on this board comment on how well their car ran after it's install....

As stated in the article, even he (charlie LT4) even doubted our product at first until he actually had it on his car to see for himself how well his car's performance increased with our product. Obviously, he now sees the light and fully understands the benefits of the product....

We been manufacturing this product for nearly 3 years now, so we have the success-to-date and have proven the test-of-time as well....

If our products "were not worth it" as some have simply stated, why would it be so successful in five countries worldwide.......????


We're not sure what more you could possibly want to assure you our product performs as designed and always has. There just is nothing more left to say...

If you choose not to purchase, fine, we respect that and we encourage you to do what's best for you. If so, than that's great also, we'll be here. Either way is fine with us and we have *NEVER* pushed anything on anyone and *NEVER* will...

It's quite simple really as charlieLt4 had already stated in *two* previous posts. Good luck either way you choose....

 

I have read were there have been lots of bad Optis comingo out of GM lately. It makes the DynaSpark that much more attractive.

I understand the LT1 to LT4 was the main focus, but the addition of the DynaSpark opened up a pandoras box of discussion. We know what the LT4 upgrade can, and should, do... it's the DynaSpark that is still the "new kid on the block."

It should be noted that the DynaSpark uses the same electronics that GM uses... but I am wonder about sourcing. Is Mitsubishi supplying both? If so, why are OEM Optis dying and DynaSparks working fine? It makes me think that DynaSpark is using the original Mitsubishi electronics package, and GM has a new, cheaper source.

Figures... they toss a crap load of parts to maximize profit on a few that work. How enlightened.

 

OK, as I previously stated, the 'Vette magazine article caught my interest. Therefore, I did a search on this forum, and punched in "DynaSpark", and at least for me, it DID NOT bring up dozens of glowing testimonials. What I saw were a few general references to the unit, very little else.

Therefore, I came to this forum (C-4 Tech) and asked if anyone had any personal experience with the unit. Somehow or other, for reasons unknown to me, there seemed to be some sort of friction between a couple of individuals going on... NOT MY AFFAIR!!

The vendor, instead of explaining to me, a potential customer, how his product is better, complains about some people taking cheap shots at his product. He also says that he has mentioned the benefits many times before. I'm terribly sorry if I didn't see these past posts, however I'm unable to keep up with everything that comes out on the market.

You could have simply explained the benefits of your product one more time to a potential customer. You didn't, at least where I can see, so I said that you "side-stepped" the question.

 

Thats funny, when I posted in our disaster of a forum a while ago, and via my email, that I went 6400 rpm, you blasted me saying it was over your limit.
From the forum post and email you sent the rpm for your warranty is 6800rpm + - 21%. (5372rpm-8200rpm)?

 

Since the product's inception nearly three years ago, the rev limit cieling of our product has *always* been clearly set at 6800 RPM in our instructions AND on our website. That data has *never* changed or waivered in *any* instance, for *anyone* with *any* car....

 

I guess I am a liar, and maybe you should refer to the emails you sent me in regards to my return of your product.

 

We have and we're correct.

No one is calling you a liar other than yourself~ we're just answering questions as they were asked...that's all. Please don't make it more dramatic than it is.

Thank you and we're concluded with this thread, as it's wayyyy off topic from it's original focus and we have no desire to engage it anymore for everyone's "reading entertainment" as it veers farther from it's axis. Good luck to all!

 

You are a piece of work.

 

Cant seem to find this on your website, just someone talking about going to 7k rpm? HHMMM, better update your website or prove me wrong.

 

I installed one 4 months ago. It made no difference in performance. I originally went with a reman that was bad and decided replacing the unit a 2nd time would be the last time. Using the Dynaspark gives reliability but not any more HP over a properly functioning Opti.

 

I did a search on "dynaspark" and got 198 threads did you click the archive box?The product works a promised and I have no complaints with mine.If your looking for HP do a cam.If your looking for reliability and a chance that your moded engine might get a better spark at high RPM's this is the product for you.If you have a 92-94 it is not much of a cost penalty and will get your system vented like the 95-96.

 

 

Yea their great customer realations shows it's ugly head again .

I read that article and feel that a stock opti that was in proper working order would have produced the same HP. Of course this was a chance for DynoTech to hawk their product since the magazine was using the dyno at their facility.

 

That's the impression that I am getting. My car is in the shop for a top-end rebuilt and decided to replace the original '93 optispark. I mentioned the dynaspark and my mechanic (EM) stated that I'm much better of just upgrading to the later model optispark for a lot less money. For a vendor, this guy sound like a really lousy salesman.
