HEI in Mopar

Having ran quite a few GM's in the past I can attest to the fact I have had way more HEI modules die that Chrysler ballast resistors burn up. In fact I have only ever had one ballast resistor fail and in less than 2 minutes i had a spare out of the tool box and plugged in and was of and running down the road. I have had several HEI modules up and die and even though they aren't hard to change they will take alot more than 2 minutes. Oh and they require tools to change which the ballast doesn't. GM HEI units may put out more spark voltage to fire a wider gapped plug than a Mopar but they sure don't do hold up good to high RPM. Stock GM HEI's are real lucky to fire correctly past 4500 rpm. This is coming from someone that has had many of each (Mopars and GM's). Sure if you pay $40-50 for a high perf module and another $50 for a high perf. coil it'll fire to 7 grand but so will a Mopar ignition if the control box and coil is upgraded. I personally don't see all the hype about the HEI. A simple MSD or Mallory multiple spark box upgrade is far better than what a tricked HEI will do. JMO
