The Crane Hi 4 is the Daytona twin tech rebadged, Its also the same box that Head-Quaters and Zippers sells.

IMO the best ignition available!

U can tune with the pots, or have a custom curve made for your individual set up!

U buy a complete HQ set up, and it comes with a DTT ignition with Dougs curve, runs like butter 99.9 percent of the time!

I'm not exactly sure what thats supposed to mean but they two entirely different units and companies
I live down here in Daytona and I've got some connections at Daytona Twin Tech.It's an entirely different company.The DTT is probably the best and most advancedignition out there

Crane ignitions are still operating on years old technology.They are OK and they'll work but you'll get more bang for the buck from a DTT.

I think Dtt sells their ignition with the computer cable and soft ware as 1 kit. Crane sells the cable and soft ware seperate, at about 190.00 bucks. I've,had the crane for over 3 yrs now and no problems. If I had to do it over I would buy the DTT you get all for less money, and they both do the same.
