Default Dynatek vs. Twin Tec ignitions????

Thinking about switching out my non-adjustable SE &nbsp\\;ignition for either a Dynatec or Twin Tech, any opinions on which is better would be GREATLY appreciated.&nbsp\\; Price on each is about the same, just want the best unit.
My bike is an 06 883 Custom, punched to 1200 with SE intake and V&amp\\;H straight shot pipes.&nbsp\\; May upgrade cams
eventually, but happy with what I have for now.

&nbsp\\;There is almost no advantage to upgrading the ignition unless you are spending a bunch of money on the engine and want to get everything out of it you can.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;So if you're not doing engine work don't mess with the ignition.

Sure there is, its called fixing the ignition timing that the EPA screwed up, just like they screwed up the air/fuel system. But I dont seem to agree with most of your opinions anyway.

I have been thinking about upgrading the ignition module on my wifes 06 883 to cure the dreaded "carb fart"....&nbsp\\;I hear rumors that it really isn't anything to do with the carb but is caused by too little (or too much?) timing advance at low rpms.
