Anyone using Blue Phoenix ignition?

No link no description no nuthin yet you want info? Never heard of it.

I built something very similar to that 15 years ago. My plugs would only last about 1000 miles, looked like they had 100,000. It might be OK for a race car.

A bunch of baggage goes along with it. Mine had a high voltage supply similar to an MSD CDI, with high voltage capactors at plugs. A conventional coil triggers initial spark, capacitor discharges plasma after that. A few other details left out. It makes a white fireball about 1/4" in diameter. Need welding glasses too. It is very loud, need hearing protection to be in same room, very annoying for testing.

I like coil on plug better.

575 amps, eh? starting to sound like, what was that, a flux capacitor?

never heard of em

the lack of actual concrete info is more than astounding. now photos or example installs, no install manuals, just "you pay now" link. I'll wait thank you very much

575A is rediculous, I would think perhaps 5.75A peak is more realistic. I used a CT with burden to measure about 5A. A good conventional ignition has a spark current of 0.25A. 575A would light up solid plug wires.

If I find the time, I will dust off my unit and do a short youtube vid.

It appears to me to be another attempt to overcome common sense with flashy advertising and to convince you to buy something you don't need.

Looks like a great way to separate clueless tuner kids from their hard-earned money from their mall job. All sparks are "a plasma".

True, but follow on current from 1uF capacitor charged to 350V is more like an arc welder.
