MC-4 Digital Ignition
MSD engineers have taken the best of both worlds: Multiple Spark
Discharge, and digital computer accuracy and put them into one compact
ignition system. You'll be able to program the MC-4 at the track, on
the dyno, wherever - with or without a computer! It's what you've been
waiting for - the ability to program ignition timing curves to suit your
engine's needs with the supplied Pro-Data Plus software. This
ignition has every imaginable feature. You can configure the MC-4 for a 4,
5 or 6 speed transmission with a kill in all gears, a 1-2 auto, a 1-2-3
auto, or a full automatic no kill transmission. The kill time itself is
adjustable from 20 to 99 milliseconds in 1 millisecond increments. The
MC-4 can be programmed to either automatically shift or control a shift
light for manual shifting. Shift points can be programmed separate
for each gear. The MC-4 has three rev limiters. One engine protection over
rev limiter, one launch rev limiter and one burnout rev limiter. You turbo
guys will love the boost curve features of the MC-4. Retard features are
many, like a launch retard ramp by time. Start out retarded from 1-15
degrees with the launch rev limiter on progressing to normal timing after
0-2.5 seconds. Three separate externally controlled retards, one is
progressive to retard the timing on a ramp to coincide with a progressive
nitrous controller. The MC-4 also features individual gear retards
starting in 3rd gear from 0-15 degrees. An RPM window switch is also
included to turn on and off any 12 VDC device at pre set rpms. The MC-4 is
easy to wire and program with either a laptop or the optional hand
held programmer. An optional shift light with
remote launch rpm set module and gear indicator is also available.

Supplied with the MC4 Digital Ignition will be the Pro-Data Plus Software.
Once you've installed the software on your computer you'll be able to
program the MC4. The software allows you to map all the ignition's
features like you've never been able to do before! Some of the features
you'll have control over include: the timing curve, start retard, launch
ramp delay, step retard off delay for nitrous applications, gear retard,
shift kill delay, boost retard curve, and RPM activated window switch. As
improvements and new features are made to the MC4, you'll be able to
download the software from Factory Direct Performance over the internet.
Below are four of the screens showing the adjustability of the Pro-Data
Plus Software.
