WOW!!! Now that's a vendor website!!!
I love the references in the Sandia Labs paper.
They give complete descriptions of the product and
even include the patent numbers.
Good job.
Now, I have no idea if it works, but there shouldn't
be any mystery about what it does. That's really nice
to see.

Its patented technology raises the level of efficiency over 500 times. No misprint -- 500 times more efficiency is delivered by the Direct Hits ignition Upgrade.

This product looks pretty promising, although I don't know if a Mini's hood can fit the extra inches the product needs.

the sandia paper is clear about the limited improvement to be had with a new, modern ignition system running stoichemetric or rich mixtures. the big gains were with older engines, e.g. 1987, and with lean burn designs:
"Since most automotive engines operate with resistor spark plugs, acceptable ignition of stoichemetric or richer air/fuel mixtures is typically achieved with very low spark energies. So long as the circuit resistance does not increase appreciably, the engines maintain high performance levels."
.......
Three vehicles less than one year old were tested by SWRI in accordance with EPA 505 test procedures11. Results showed minimal change in emissions with the peaking capacitors."
the new mexico fleet fuel mileage test has this caveat:
'The installation of these devices was accomplished on all vehicles in "as is" condition...' if the plugs in the cars were old, just putting in new standard plugs would give improvements. without a better control test, these mileage claims are suspect.
so i wouldn't put off that pulley purchase waiting for these....

Looked at both websites; no mention of this product for either BMW or MINI. If DirectHit is a HOT, new product that it hasn't already been sucked up by the BMW crowd. Has anybody installed in a BMW or a MINI?
Therefore, if I wanted this upgrade(?) today, is there a package already developed or is it "coming soon"?
