Talk to Charles R Hill about ordering one and seeing if he can either ship it directly to SR so it'll be there waiting for you to pick up or bringing it with.
Hell, I'm sure for a small nominal fee you might even get him or Flashwing to help you install it.

So many of the cars there will already have the BHR ignition system that finding someone who's done it already to help you shouldn't be a problem. Maybe we could even get Jedi, or his personal mechanic, to put in some wrench time... probably not though

Yes I have them installed
yes I can feel the difference AND see the difference on the dyno, the ignition isn't breaking up at the higher rpm's as OEM coils tend to do and the coils will probably outlive my car.

wish I could say it was the first time I've seen the MZS ignition do that but it isn't.
I remember the Dyno Day we did at NeptuneSpeed when we had Imrtommy's MZS turbo'd 8 on the dyno.
I remember hearing Yoshiya say (in a very thick Japanese accent) "stupid ignition"

if you're tardy with your homework assignment, I'll have Jeff make sure your car is running 9.1 AFR's all the way to redline.

You sir get a B- on your homework for not completing the assignment.

HOWEVER, that extra credit you showed me is EXCELLENT and I definitely think someone will be VERY pleased with it while the other....

On stock ignition coils, that would be a nightmare.
