So I ordered the sparktech for the X this morning but then someone reminded me of this:

In the X you can now change the coil dwell time and people have been able to run normal plug gaps instead of doing what I am doing (gapping at .018) which I don't like.
I still feel like the spark tech is the "real" fix for this but at $1500 if I don't need it I can spend the money on the Exedy twin/triple I have been eyeing up.
I don't know enough about this to say one way or the other but to me modifying the dwell time seems to at least mean shorter life for the coils. Eventually though I would assume that you will still need a stronger spark through a stronger ignition system but not sure where that is for this car as no one really buys the spark tech due to price.
I eventually plan to go back up in power, somewhere between 550-700whp I am thinking, no idea where, not this year though most likely, so I think having a good ignition system is important and will pay off.
Anyone shed some light on this?
Talking with spark tech before they said the stronger spark not only will prevent spark blowout but give a more complete burn producing better numbers. Is that true? Meaning, is there really a difference between just not blowing out the spark and providing a "full/complete" burn?
edit: shortly after ordering I put the order on hold to figure this out and see if it's truly needed, just as an FYI.
