MSD Performance: Direct Ignition System (DIS) Kits

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.
