The PRO 600 CDI is an 8-channel capacitive discharge ignition built for high cylinder pressure, high horsepower engines running coil-near-plug ignition. It includes built-in protection against reverse battery connection and overheating, plus LED diagnostics that flag individual coil issues. A programmable power setting switches between a 250-400 millijoule output and the industry-leading 680 millijoule output via an activation wire or software.
