is the twinfire made by MSD because the connectors look the same.
I was thinking about going with the MSD one but it has a similar rep.
Right now im waiting for AEM to fix one of my units (it has been over 6 weeks)
Thinking about taking insurance off my car to save cash for a M&W unit.
AEM are you doing anything to fix the problems with the units?
Im probably going to go back to the stock distributor because i had not problems with it.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Read This, then you can kick your self in the ass Smiley.  I know I was ****ed when I read it.  Waste of 300 bucks.

I got mine back from AEM a while ago, and I am just afraid to put it on the car.  The car is running and making power so i am kinda like leave it along and put that thing on when I really need it.  It is really a shame that this product is not better, It looks so cool with all the other AEM stuff that I have on my car.

I might try to put mine on this weekend and see what happens.

As for wiring it in correctly, I 100% agree, however mine blew and I was 100% sure that it was wired up correctly before I even put a battery in the car.  So be sure to double and tripple check your wiring, but I would guess that you have a bad box and it will never work.  Also make sure that you do not use the butt connectors, solder everything.
