i spin 6k-6500
wondering if i'd gain anything going to a balancer with magents and going crank trigger

my setup is more pro-street and strip when/and if i can
I don't really see timing bouncing or anything with my current setup
is a crank trigger more beneficial with a solid type of cam?
just checking to see what others results were when changing to one
sorry don't mean to hijack this

Don: The Crank trigger will give you rock solid timing when looking at it with the timing light. No timing bouncing around on the balancer.

You take your distributor and lock it out. You adjust timing with the crank trigger sensor.

The balancer with the magnets will definitely help with pulley alignment as the crank trigger plate with magnets is like 1/4" thick moving pulleys forward.
After installed you phase you distributor cap to the rotor with your timing light. You cut a hole in distributor cap so you can see where the rotor contact point it when it fires.
