Default Which ignition for upgraded 88 to 98 motor (carb)

Planning on a 98 big bore kit and was wondering which ignition would be the best? I believe my bike has a mild cam, also going to a Killer Carb.

I currently have the Daytona Twin Tec. Hoping there's a better option for tuning the ignition.

I was told I should get an ignition that will set the advance to zero for starting. Not sure if my Daytona Twin Tec will do this. Gotta find the documentation.

DTT is all you need.
If you can get the cable (program can be down loaded from site) it has a bunch of options to use while tuning.
Even without the cable go check out the site so you know how to use those dip switch's.
The DTT will unlock a bunch of power out of a 98"

I would post this in the EVO section. Tons of knowledge and experience with these motors over there!

I ran the Daytona Twin Tec on my 98 inch carbed bike with woods cams and high Comp. just find a mechanic that understands that ignition module. its all you need.
