The MSD Power Grid Ignition Controller builds on the Programmable 7-Series ignition line with an efficient 32-bit microcontroller and Windows-based MSD View software. CAN-Bus technology simplifies module wiring, and a removable micro SD card captures ignition data acquisition files for easy storage and review.
Specifications:
- Product Type: Power Grid Controller
- Color: Red
- Current Draw: .5-.7 Amps
- Operating Voltage: 7-18V
- Part Number: 7730
Requires a 4-Connector CAN-Bus Hub (PN 7740) to add accessory modules; compatible with MSD 6, 7, 8 Series ignitions or a Pro Mag.
Compliance: This part is legal for sale and use on Racing Use Only Vehicles — competition vehicles that are not registered and never operated on the street. It is against the law to install this part on an Emissions Controlled Vehicle (1966-and-newer California-certified or 1968-and-newer federally certified vehicles).
FAQ
What does the MSD Power Grid Controller (PN 7730) do?
It's the programmable brain of the Power Grid Ignition System, using MSD View software and a 32-bit microcontroller to manage timing, rev limits, and shift light settings for MSD-equipped race engines.
Does the Power Grid Controller work with older MSD ignitions?
Yes, it is compatible with MSD 6, 7, and 8 Series ignitions as well as a Pro Mag magneto.
How is data recorded?
The controller logs ignition data to a removable micro SD card for storage and post-run review.
What's required to add accessory modules?
A 4-Connector CAN-Bus Hub, PN 7740, must be installed between the controller and any additional Power Grid modules.
Is this part legal for street use?
No. It carries MSD Emission Code 4 and is legal for Racing Use Only vehicles, not street-driven emissions-controlled vehicles.
