does it work fine for you? I find it sometimes doesn't cut properly on 'soft cut' would be maybe 1 in 50 times mind

Soft cut seems to have a lot of over-rev but it works well I just use hard cut (i actually set it at 4k for skidding and fuel economy haha!)

No bangs though, does yours?

Btw, did you solder the connections to your coil clips? And did you use the coil + or a switched live?

Just make sure it's all tight and it should be alright

1986 360 2L (glt-gle ?) with a omex, its set to 6,000 hard and about 5,800 soft. the soft cut will stop the engine for about 0.5-1 sec at 5,800 on full throttle good for if you miss a gear or are not looking :oops: the 6,000 hard cut will stop the engine flat and will often cut about 200 rpm dropping me to the soft cut. if i am drifting and on the limiter the car will hit the soft, push throw the sort to the hard, then go back to the soft, and will do this over and over all day.

The soft sounds good but no flames, the hard will not spit unless you stay on it for about 1-1.5 sec for the fuel mix to get right then you're off, 2-3 foot flames and loads of noise, the car will move from soft noise to hard flames.

This is with a stock manifold and downpipe then 3" staine liss steal tuned pipe from power flow (added about 20 bhp from stock pipe) #

Next time we're out i will get a video for people to see, only thing i can say is it might be because i have a very rich running engine.

dyno run from just before i fitted the omex about a year ago now, the lower line if the AFR at the top it hits 13.1 and at the low end it is at 10.2

I dnt think it has a rev limiter cause it goes well past the 7 on the tacho I'm not sure so it's a single so I will get the one for single coil
