Dammit!

First of all, I don't want a cr250 ignition because I need my headlight. Just wanted to get that out of the way early. :lol:
I was talking to Fox250r via PM's about a Hinson timing advance plate that he's running. Apparently these are no longer available and I'm coming up empty looking for something similar. So now I'm looking at Dynatek ignition systems. Has anyone here ever actually used one of these that can give me some first hand information? I did some searching before making this post and was surprised at how little I came up with as far as first hand knowledge here. There are two models available. A programmable one for just under $300 and a non-programmable version for $99. Their web site leaves quite a bit to be desired regarding specific info particularly on the non-programmable model. It just says the following;
Non-Programmable Ignition Features
Improved Timing Curves
Higher Rev Limit
Removed Reverse Rev Limit
Overrides belt indicator for full performance at all times
Increased Spark Energy
Improved Throttle Response
Easier Starting
Plug-In Module Replacement (Easy Mounting)
At $99 this might be a nice little mod? I don't know.
The more expensive model has 4 programmable timing curves but I really have no idea what that means in terms of real world results. It has 4 different rev limits. Their web site also has a column called "# of RPM switch outputs" which they say it has 2. That's great and everything but what the hell is a "RPM switch output" ? :lol:
Here's the bullet points on the programmable model. Not all of these features are available on the 250R ignition. Shift kill and launch limiter being two of them.
Programmable Ignition Features
Programmable Timing Curves (4)
Programmable Rev Limits
Increased Spark Energy
Improved Throttle Response
Easier Starting
Programmable RPM Activated Outputs(2) (Can be used for Nitrous Activation, Shift Light, Auto Shifter, or Boost Control)
Tach Output*
Launch Limiter*
Shift Kill Interrupt*(Allows clutchless shifting)
Data logging*
External Curve Selector Switch
Plug-In Module Replacement (Easy Mounting)
I haven't played around with ignition changes on any of my machines before so general info would be appreciated too. Things like the give and take when advancing/retarding your timing. As I understand it, advancing your timing improves top end performance but does it hurt your performance in other areas?
Another thing I was wondering about with the Dynatek is, where is it supposed to mount? And does it plug right into the 1986 250R wiring harness?
