Well, mainly from a point of view of why it's needed, and how it benefits to be honest.

What happens if you floor it with that on? Does it just sit there and pop?

The MJ hard limiter doesn't just cut off the coil, if you did that you'd get a spark every time it operated. As that could happen anywhere in cycle it could be at piston destroying degrees of advance. Autosport's answer is to switch in more resistance with a mosfet, about 20ohms @ 10watts.

 

If you want to do your own thing

 

I like Nick's tactics:

 

The best solution would be to hack the MJ code to run the soft limiter off load or auxiliary inputs, wonder if Autosport have considered this? As a work around, you could set up a row of retarded advance bins on your map that are triggered when you push those inputs out of their usual range with a resistor that connects to one of them when you operate your launch switch.
