Love my LTCC!!!!!
WELL I just installed an LTCC unit in my car. All i can say is wow, SO DAMN SMOOTH!! The acceleration feels so much more controlled, and the idle seems so much smoother. Cheers to Bob Baily on a great product!! I would recommend it to anybody!!

The opti I had replaced about 5 years ago when I first bought the car. I had also added an MSD6AL and a MSD blaster coil. But even with the MSD equipment it still didn't feel as smooth and responsive as it does with the LTCC. BTW my MSD6AL is for sale

Not trying to be an *** but IMO you need to at least consider some of the gains were due to the old cap and rotor being worn.
This is a pet peeve of mine where folks replace worn out ignition components with new stuff and then give the credit for the improv ement to the brand of new parts used when "NEW parts are at least as much responsible for the improvement as the exact part numbers choosen.
Glad you are happy with your mod.

Yeah I realize that. Especially in the wild Chicago climate. Just curious what's your beef with after market opti products? Not trying to start a fight, just want to know? Have you ever tried one? LTCC or Delteq, or anything else for that matter? BTW you've got some awesome times, what else do you have done to the car?

Good to here your happy with it... If you don't mind me asking... What did everything cost to convert?

I got the LTCC brand new for 399.00 from Bob Baily, coils/harness from Hawks third gen $120.00, wires I believe were $50.00 from JEGS, and then I bought the coil relocation brackets from Thunder Racing for $45.00. Came together nicely, was a very clean install.

fyi: if you have the vented opti...
I know first hand that if your vacuum vent system for your opti is damaged or disconnected (for whatever reason) that this will damage your sensor...
I installed a brand new opti and I've had to replace the sensor on it because the line came out and only took ~2k miles to mess it up... i replaced the sensor with the one from my old opti and so far so good...
Just some food for thought as the ltcc system still uses the optical sensor...

I just hate to see guys spend a lot of money reinventing wheels that work fine.
Even the MSD opti lovers are begining to come around, one guy who constantly argued with me on that just had to pull one off at 4K miles for excessive endplay and put a 17k mile used Delco on to fix the problem.
I think folks are too quick to jump on bandwagons. There are guys taking slightly modded optis way beyond the pcm's capabilities.
