Screaming Eagle Ignition Module review.
I have the whole stage 1 kit - SE high flow a/c, carb rejet, and SEII slip ons. And recently added forward controls w/ 2" extensions to my 2006 sportster 1200 Low. I just bought the Vance and Hines Short Shots Staggard and the Screamin' Eagle Ignition Module. Had both installed, and with that Ignition Module it makes A HELL OF A DIFFERENCE!!!!! If anybody thinks the 1200's are good on power but don't have quite enough, get the module! Best purchase so far! I will be getting it dyno'd in a few weeks, just to see what my numbers are at.

I'm still learning so take it easy on me, but our bikes have ignition modules and not distributors? I always figured that having a carb meant having a distributor and having fuel injection meant having an ingition module.

Controls spark/ignition - allows to rev to 7,000 RPM. At wide open throttle, it retards timing by 5* allowing it to rev up higher.

RE: Screaming Eagle Ignition Module review.
Wouldn't you have to change your plugs to the platnium tip ones with this mod to get the most out of it? I would also imagine pulling the extra 1000 RPM's on the engine will be harder on it. I'm sure life expectancy would drop dramtically if that was constantly done. As a matter of fact, I would guess pulling 6000 all the time would drop life expectancy as well.

6000 RPM isnt alot. The Jap v-twin bikes run at a much higher rpm without any trouble. The problem is somewhere beyond 6000rpm, you run the risk of "floating a valve". This is when a valve actualy hits the top of the piston because the piston is moving faster than the valve spring can react, pulling the valve out of the way. The answer is a stronger valve spring so they move quicker. I dont know at what rpm this can happen, but if the ignition module or the mechanic didnt mention different springs then I am sure you are fine. 7000 isnt alot.

Yeah, I have ordered the Screamin' Eagle Platinum tipped plugs along with new wires. But 7,000 isn't too bad at all.

You're wasting your $$$ on those SE Plugs.....The HD Gold ones are much better after the mods.
