MSD DIS 4 SR20DET Direct spark misfire

Hi All, hope someone is able to help me out.

The project is a Nissan GTiR, Link LEM 3G.  I wanted to switch to direct spark so got the following

cbr 600 coil-on plugs
Plug that fit into the above
MSD DIS 4 

The car runs find under light load.
The problem I am having is a misfire under load. What I have found is that the larger the dwell number the worse the misfire.

I read that dwell had no effect when running CDI ?

When running 0.5ms I get a small missfire over 5000RPM over 14PSI
The more I turn up the dwell upto 4ms the sooner ( Less load ) the misfire happens

The Spark time is 1ms
Anyone any any advise ?

Thanks

Thanks for the input ,I just set this to falling and all dwell to 1.0ms, but the engine will not start .

 

Put is back to rising, at its start ok, but will will under load ( same as before - the higher the dwell the worse the miss )

Everything Ive read says the MSD needs rising.

it needs to be on falling.  You will need to do base timing again as swapping edges will change timing.

Just trying this now,

I've just done a timing calibration again and the difference when swapping from rising to falling is very small 2-5 degrees ( -120   -125 ) , Also hard to tell on the starter motor.
Fixed at 10.

Still just fires once then stalls when on falling.

What am I missing ?

** UPDATE **

Just got this working, I needed to set the dwell to 2.5ms for the MSD DIS-4 unit..
Tested by swapping to 1ms when running , and the engine stalls
