Interesting ballast resistor article.

Y'ever had a coil blowout? It is a loud, very violent event that sends hot, flammable, toxic oil and fine copper wire everywhere. Excellent way to start a very nasty fire under the hood. Doesn't seem like a good trade for vaguely claimed performance gains. I eliminate ballast resistors all the time, but I do it as part of the HEI upgrade , I don't randomly hack them out of factory systems meant to have them just because some magazine article said so. :roll:
