MSD's PRO 600 CDI High Output Ignition and Coil Kit is built for coil-near-plug engines making extreme cylinder pressure under boost or nitrous, where an inductive coil-per-plug ignition can run out of spark energy. The kit pairs the PRO 600 ignition box with High Output 8280 coils, adding reverse-battery protection, over-temperature protection, and per-coil LED diagnostics. A programmable power setting lets racers switch between 250-400 millijoule outputs for the long haul or step up to 680 millijoules for peak track performance.
