Hello Fellow Builders, I was just introduced to G3i ignition. See here:
http://www.g3ignition.com/
I am wondering if any fellow listers have any field experience with this
system or comments regarding the concept and implementation.
Thanks.

Bakerocb,
This is basically the same mod that has been available for hot rods for
the last 30 years. Better, hotter, faster and lots of other marketing
hype. I've not tried them on Lycomings, but they've helped one or more
of my projects that suffered from frequently wet distributors, cheap
wires etc. One bonus is that it should improve fuel burn.
I just got done spending 4k on my EI from Lightspeed. I'll need to wait
to upgrade.

A waste of money in other words!
A fixed timing EI system will not add to fuel economy. The variable timed systems that alter timing advance based on RPM and Manifold pressure add up to 10% fuel economy..So I have been told.
I have always run with Pmags so I can't confirm the savings

Generally, unmodified mags are notoriously weak on spark energy especially
at lower rpm's. Any system, that is reliable, to boost spark energy and
keep it confined inside the spark leads (no leakage) to the plugs is a huge
boost especially for starting big bore engines. I used a similar setup on a
large bore, hot VW engine and it would reliably start on the first piston
up. A really hot spark gets things going and reduces wear on starters and
adaptors.
Many running the big bore engines, especially on the ground, use poor
mixture management. Too rich usually, with over cooled cylinders, lots of
lead (100LL) deposits and carbon because the internal cylinder temps are too
cold. The hotter spark would help keep those deposits from settling into
spark plug gaps, wells and on valve faces.
Once in the air under cruise power, I don't know if any real economy savings
if one is already running the proper lean cruise set-up or LOP.

Hello Guys,
If you’re at the 2009 AirVenture this year, I personally invite you to stop by our booth #1148 and take a look at our products and answer any of your question/doubts. There will be hands on running interactive G3i/magneto display. Showing and comparing the different start up and run modes along with redundancy. As far easy start-up, fuel economy and smoothness, give Larry Vetterman a call (at) Vettermans Exhaust Inc. Larry happily runs one of our systems.
Sincerely,
Thomas S.
