Default Electro Air Performance
Does anyone have empirical evidence of the performance of the Electro Air EI?

Greater HP?
Improved fuel economy?

Yup... I used a Jeff Rose for 10 years and it worked great (with a Bendix Mag). I changed to dual Pmags and lost about 5+ knots. It is a better EI. It never missed a beat.

The CAFE Foundation did a lot of research on ignition systems and used two Jeff Rose ElectroAir units.

Three part report - Not on their web site any more, but here courtesy of the Wayback Machine -

Correction, found it on their web siite - direct links here -
