Circuit sports direct ignition system dis amplifier

Hey, has anyone seen or tried this Ignition upgrade? The Nismo Shop website says 10 hp and torque gains for around $279.00. Seems like a heck of a deal

Eh.... maybe on an older ignition set up, but somehow I doubt it would make those gains on our cars.

Love to see a dyno prove me wrong tho'...

Here it is. Sorry if this link is not vendor authorized: CIRCUIT SPORTS DIRECT IGNITION SYSTEM DIS AMPLIFIER - 350Z 370Z G35 G37

Here is a review from a motorcycle group on using an ignition amplifier:
Do Aftermarket Ignition Amplifiers Make A Difference?

Looks like the motorcycle benefited from a 2% gain in horsepower (61hp up to 63hp). I believe thhe Ninja 650r is an inline 2-cylinder engine that revs to probably 12,000 rpm.

I'd say these things may work, but I'm not gonna be the first to try it. I'd say if this amplifier does what it says it will do, then it will be better for FI turbo or blown 370z. In NA form usually ignition upgrades dont do very much. FWIW the 370z has a really strong alternator for factory. I doubt there is much voltage problems as say a 12A motorcycle system running a generator (Not an alternator).

The dyno shown is definitely not our car and is most likely a turbo vehicle, maybe an SR20. Our power curve, boosted or not doesn't look like that graph. Even so, I'm interested because I can here my car misfire at times (still trying to figure out what it is). If this can clear that up and improve performance, it would be a bargain.
