Ignition Controller for 2008 Fitment
The MSD Ignition Power Grid Ignition System Controller is designed for performance vehicles with a 2008 fitment. It provides programmable timing control for racers and engine builders who need precise ignition management. The unit is not legal for use or sale on pollution controlled vehicles.
USB Programming and Retard Stages
A USB connection allows programming from a laptop without opening the enclosure. The controller fits within an 11.00 by 8.00 by 3.00 inch footprint and weighs 4.80 lbs. It frees the tuner from mechanical distributor limits by offering five retard stages for nitrous and four steps of RPM limits.
Replaces Mechanical Distributor Curves
This system replaces fixed mechanical advance curves and standalone rev limiters with digital, cylinder specific timing maps. The jump is worth it when the build demands gear based timing, individual cylinder correction or output switching triggered by RPM pressure or time.
Highlights

Questions about this item
What is the first limit that appears when the Power Grid controller runs under sustained load?
The controller enforces four programmable RPM limit steps that activate in sequence as engine speed rises.
How much heat or noise does the controller produce during all-day operation?
The sealed aluminium enclosure has no fan; it dissipates heat passively and runs silently.
What existing component must the buyer already own for the controller to function?
It connects to a compatible MSD ignition control box through the supplied harness.
