I'm running the Crane box. I like the built in Rev limiter and choices of curves. The only reason I went with it was that the TB modules didn't have the advance curves I wanted. I'm keeping the stock TB module on the distributor, and wired it so that it only takes one connector change for a backup ignition system.

I have msd distributors and the Crane HI-6M boxes on my boat. No complaints here..I have had to replace a few msd boxes over the years. The Cranes are pretty cool in that you can adjust them very easily. I'm not sure if it's on every box, but mine seem to kick in about 300rpms early. Not a problem....once I became aware of it!!

I've had enough of bad MSD components. For the past 5 years I'm running plain old Thunderbolt IV with the V-6 modules. Very simple and never let me down.

Crane works very well and also lasts a long time in our punishing environment.
