Drag And Drive Ignitions For All: MSD’s Single Channel Pro 600 Ignition Provides Race-Ready Spark When You Need It

Running in the 5’s and 6’s on the dragstrip isn’t hard with the right equipment, but doing that AND driving the car hundreds of miles a day for a week is a whole other thing. One of the big challenges is enough ignition to fire all that fuel under boost on the track, without burning up all the other components on the street. Putting race levels of spark energy through spark plug wires, spark plugs, distributor caps, etc isn’t an issue in short bursts but if you put that level of electrical energy through them for hours at a time something usually gives. But what if you could flip a switch and change from super high power for the track and then to lower power for on the road duty? If that sounds like magic to you, then welcome to the magic show because MSD has done just that with the new Pro 600 Single Channel ignition.

Here’s all the info from MSD.

OVERVIEW
The Single Channel Pro 600 Ignition is engineered and built for the most demanding racing applications and is the HOTTEST single channel ignition box for use with the MSD Power Grid. This ignition is capable of running continuously at an energy level of up to 600 mJ inducing more than 250 microseconds of spark duration. With a Power Boost wire, the ignition output can be changed on the fly between programmable lower energy (325 mJ by default) to its maximum energy output of 600 mJ. The lower energy setting reduces the battery power requirements and lessens the stress on the secondary ignition components (distributor cap, rotor, spark plug wires and spark plugs). The ignition’s Alternating-Current (AC) operation with an internal coil-coupler considerably increases spark-gap energy and duration over Direct-Current (DC) Ignitions. This increased efficiency translates to more energy at the spark gap combined with longer spark duration and cooler operating temperature of the ignition coil. To further improve efficiency, unused spark energy is recycled back to the ignition capacitor reducing the power drawn from the battery. The Single Channel Pro 600 Ignition provides up to 20% additional spark gap energy and a 40% increase in spark duration over other 600 mJ ignitions available in the market. Additionally, the ignition’s high-efficiency design reduces power demand from the battery, which in turn reduces loads on the wires and connectors. As the Single Channel Pro 600 Ignition is designed for the most challenging applications, it is also capable of continuous full-power operation. The Single Channel Pro 600 Ignition is designed to work with the MSD Power-Grid and can provide firing-by-firing spark current data acquisition. A Diagnostic LED detects the presence of faults – such as an Open Coil Primary, Shorted Coil Primary, Reversed Primary Connections, or Open Coil Secondary.

Features:

  • Adjustable output energy up to 680 millijoules (mJ)
  • Over 3A peak spark current when used with the recommended ignition coil PN 82612/3
  • Compatible with 8/6/4 cylinder engines
  • Spark current sense and recording for each firing
  • Spark duration of greater than 250 microseconds
  • Rated for continuous operation at an output of 600 mJ
  • Operates between 12- 28V
  • Minimum starting voltage 6-volts
  • Direct plug-in to MSD Power Grid Controller PN7730
  • Reverse battery protection
  • Internally protected from damage caused by internal over-temperature or open / shorted coil
  • Diagnostic LED detects the presence of faults
  • On-the-fly Power Output selection wire

TX2K23 Day 1: Mustang Nearly TAKES OUT Lamborghini, 200mph Races, And MORE

Image
It’s that time of year again when everyone converges on Houston Raceway Park for TX2K. 2023 is going to be the last TX2K to be held there, as the track is going to be closing soon. Where will it be in 2024? I’m not sure, but I’m sure they will make that announcement before the end of the event this weekend. This event is known for big performances and unfortunately some big crashes too, as folks try to push their cars to the limits for fame at TX2K. This year started out just like last year, with a crazy crash that involved a Lambo. This time the Lambo was not the crasher, but almost the crashie. Check it out! Video Description: TX2K23 is upon us, which means the fastest street cars from around the United States have gathered to compete for records, trophies, and of course – bragging rights! Last year, we saw an unprecedented amount of wrecks, most of which were Supercars. This year seems to be taking a similar route, however we can’t take away from the insane level of cars that thi...

Helmet Sale: Simpson And Racequip Are On Sale Now! Quit Using A Crap Helmet.

Image
I just got back from Holley’s LSFest West in Las Vegas and the number of people who are racing, or trying to race, wearing crappy helmets, or those that are NOT designed to be used in a car or truck, still blows me away. It gets better all the time, but even so, we need more people to do the right thing for themselves and buy a good helmet. I remember when I got my first helmet that was actually bought for me to use while racing cars. It was awesome. It fit better than anything I’d ever borrowed, and it was mine. I loved it. I have had several helmets since, but regardless of my budget, I’ve always bought a helmet that is specifically made for racing cars and is certified for doing so. Helmets can be expensive, but they don’t have to be. With this new sale coming out of Holley, their Simpson and Racequip brands are both having helmet sales. Yes, a clear-coated carbon fiber helmet is going to be more expensive than a painted one. But from a safety perspective, you can get the same prot...
