If you recall some years ago there was alot of hoopla over traction control
units.  NASCAR impounded a whole slew of the MSD, and cat scanned then
looking for hidden electronics within the large caps and transformers.
Someone would be a fool to risk getting nabbed with an altered box.   The
fines also rose heavily after that, so they could afford to police their new
policies.   Sides, there ain't much (none that I've seen) HP to be found
between different CDIs.

Speaking of traction control and NASCAR, they figured out quickly, that they
lost more time on pit lane with one then they made up for on the track.  To
do one takes about 4 chips and the size of a #2 pencil, thou smaller with
SMT stuff.

IMO, folks ought to think alot more about this, then the latest double wammy
PCM.  It's really too easy to overwhelm the tires anyway.
