The Pro Mag A/Fuel Power Grid Controller is designed for use with the MSD Pro Mag 44 in drag racing applications, which compete in the Top Alcohol Dragster category or sanctioning bodies that allow electronic ignition timing control when using a single or dual Pro Mag system.
Although the Power Grid Controller has dual outputs it can be used with, a single Pro Mag or Dual Pro Mag that allows you to control Ignition Timing based on Time. The additional features such as Individual Cylinder Timing, which allows you to change timing on each cylinder or the Pedal Retard that allows retarding timing upon pedal lift with and inhibit delay and an auto pickup signal selector. This means that in the case of a crank trigger pickup failure, it will trigger the dead channel running magneto seamlessly.
Let's not forget about the data acquisition that allows you to review your 1/4 mile pass after every run to see if you can tune ignition timing even on the worst track conditions.
It is recommended to use the controller with a crank trigger system using MSD non-magnetic pickups. (It will function with the Pro Mag's internal pickup, but is not recommended for the most accurate timing.)
The programming can be done with the use of a laptop PC or computer via cable or if the PC comes with bluetooth.
The MSDView software will program timing curves with up to 30 points at 0.1 degree increments down to 0.01-second intervals. MSDView allows the user to create up to 12 different timing curves that can be overlaid to choose the right one at the last minute.
Features:
- Provides a programmable time-based timing curve with up to 30 points
- Stores up to 12 different timing maps
- Easily transfer or change timing maps while in the staging lanes
- Limited Bluetooth Connection
- Individual Cylinder Timing
- Data Acquisition
- Configure Power Grid data to Racepak
When the Power Grid A/Fuel Controller is installed, it is important to note that the ignition timing will be 5° retarded. This is due to the Controller's improved trigger pickup compensation circuit. The timing must be reset to your engine's specifications.

About MSD Ignition
Racers never stop experimenting as they search for every way to wring out more power or handling performance to to gain an edge over the competition. The team at MSD is no different as we strive to deliver the products you need to meet your performance goals. We continue to innovate and invent components and technology that deliver performance and reliability with products that are easy to use and install.
Over the course of 40-plus years, MSD Performance has been driving the development of innovative components that helped shape the way our cars race and perform. From super speedways to road courses, land speed racing to top fuel dragsters, and of course your traditional hot rod, MSD has provided the components to fire nearly anything in motorsports.
MSD was the first company to develop and offer the multiple sparking, capacitive discharge ignition for engines. The line of MSD 6-Series Ignitions are the most popular aftermarket ignitions in the world due to our race-proven performance on the track and our reliability on the street!
Early on, MSD focused squarely on ignition systems with revolutionary products like the multiple sparking CD ignition, timing and rev controls, billet aluminum distributors and the Pro-Mag, an incredible breakthrough in power and endurance.
Today MSD is developing electronics for your entire powertrain. The Atomic EFI systems for the LS engine platform and throttle body are now complemented with a transmission controller. Our DynaForce Starters and Alternators ensure that your engine cranks over to fire up and the Alternators keep it charged. MSD is poised to deliver components that work and communicate together to provide performance and value.
