Within the aftermarket industry, varying manufacturers can make some wild claims about full-functionality when it comes to a complete ignition system. For the most part, much of the functionality is limited and isn’t very interactive. After meeting with the great-minded folks from Prestolite Performance [2], which includes Mr. Gasket Co. [3], Hays [4], Accel [5], Lakewood [6], and Mallory Ignition [7] into their vast performance family, we were sold on their newest development for the aftermarket; Mallory’s Firestorm Ignition [8].
Mallory Firestorm Ignition:
- Power: Fully programmable launch mode

- Control: Advance Tuning Technology
- Features & Benefits:
- Street Module

Mallory's demo included illustrating some of the various methods for customizing fuel mapping as well as having the ability to view engine dynamics, live.
After just a brief moment of viewing the Mallory demo and speaking with their engineer, we were completely sold.

The Mallory Firestorm Ignition is an integrated and intelligent ignition control system that delivers features, control and precision unmatched by any competitor for both street and race applications.
