Built for rock crawling, high-speed desert racing, or any harsh offroad terrain, the MSD Digital 6 Offroad Ignition's fully potted design delivers the ruggedness and reliability a 4WD rig demands. It multi-sparks below 3,000 RPM on V8s for clean, crisp throttle response and complete fuel burn at low crawling speeds, then switches to a powerful capacitive discharge spark above 3,000 RPM. A smooth, accurate rev limiter protects the engine from over-rev damage due to drivetrain failure or a slick spot on the trail.
