The most profitable investment in your engine's performance
Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, no other engine modification touches the VXI-440 Programmable Ignition Module when it comes to improving engine performance and reliability. In less than an hour, the VXI-440 can be installed and operating with your current engine. Could your team benefit from the same reliability that helped Glen Clarke and Evan Gamblin complete and win the grueling 2,200 km long Targa Newfoundland?
According to Glen Clarke, founder Open Road Motorsports, "We have been running a very methodical testing program with VimX and we are seeing benefits with our engines: our engines start easier and run cleaner at idle even with aggressive high overlap cams, we've noted lower electrical power consumption and the engines run leaner with no apparent loss in performance (better fuel economy)."
The UMSAE Racing team reports in their January 2006 Newletter that:
"With new sponsorship from VimX ignition, we installed the new system with the Honda CBR 600 F4i and saw an 8.5 Brake Horsepower (BHP) gain from 89 BHP to 97.5 BHP at 13,000 RPM with the stock engine configuration."
Why live with a default ignition?
Most SAE teams put a lot of sweat and time in evaluating and, eventually, selecting their performance ECU. It's an important decision based on careful analysis of key features and capabilities. However, how many teams put the same effort in analysis of their ignition system or do they simply accept the ECU manufacturer's decision by default? The trouble is that ECU manufacturers aren't ignition experts; they are control system experts. And in the racing world, while it is important to have control over fuel injection and ignition timing, it is absolutely critical that your spark ignition guarantees combustion under even the most difficult conditions.
By mating the VXI-440 to your ECU, you will integrate the world's highest-performance ignition system to guarantee a full burn of each and every fuel load. Explore a wide variety of x10Spark™ profiles to get the very best in engine tuning. Exploit the long-duration, plasma-rich spark for better engine starting, idling and overall performance. Exercise all of your engine's true potential and exceed all your goals with a new VimX ignition system.
