Available for big block Chevy, small block Ford, and Cleveland Fords, the new Direct Ignition System (DIS) kits from MSD Performance make it easy to upgrade from a conventional distributor-type ignition to modern and efficient coil-per-plug technology. MSD DIS kits eliminate distributor-cap and rotor wear, reduce spark-energy losses from long wires, and optimize tuning parameters.

Users can program these kits through a mini-USB port to provide individual cylinder timing, while fully programmable 2D and 3D timing maps offer complete timing control; MSD’s easy-to-use proprietary software makes real-time configuration and tune-ups simple.

Finally, the smartly labeled wiring harness takes the guesswork out of conversion for a hassle-free installation.

Features

  • Easily convert to a coil-per-plug ignition system.
  • Preprogrammed timing maps.
  • Fully programmable 2D and 3D timing maps provide complete timing control.
  • Individual Cylinder Timing (ICT) allows precise tuning.
  • Built-in 2.5 bar Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor for boosted applications.
  • Optional temperature sensor input to control timing based on temperature.
  • On-board data acquisition.
  • Fully potted electronics and sealed connectors for maximum durability.
  • Easily programmable through a mini-USB communication port.
  • Programmable Max Rev and Launch RPM limiters provide engine protection.
  • Consistent holeshots thanks to a Programmable Launch Timing Retard.
  • Single Timing Step Retard ideal for pulling timing for nitrous applications.
