I just read the MM article this morning, and I'm left wondering why they didn't pit it against a FBO box. The test board in the MM article looks just like the one which can be seen in this
Moparts topic, and there's a FBO box (old design, they also have a rev limiter now) on the latter, not a "parts store replacement" like the third box MM mentions.
A standard form-factor ignition box is a pretty good idea for those who don't want to deviate too far from the stock look and wiring. The upgrade is pretty simple. The price is right if you consider an aftermarket alternative.
I'd go so far as to strip a ballast resistor of its innards and make it a zero ohm resistor to keep the wiring stock-looking.
I see on the Moparts topic that Dave Dudek tested one, but I'm wondering if the Rev'N'ator can be used in FAST competition. If the rev limiter was on the backside of the unit, it would be even better IMO (you'd have to unbolt the unit to change the rev limit, but with only one limit to play with, I don't think people will foll aorund with it very often. Under the unit would have been OK too.
