Boost a Spark NOT working like planned?
Good measurements, now you know the BAS is not active. To confirm, you did short the trigger of the two wires correct? (at the hobbs pressure switch)
Unplug the RCA connector from the BAS 'knob box' and measure the resistance from the two conductors. Ensure the resistance changes when you turn the dial from 0 to 100.

How many miles on the coils? They start to go south at around 50k I believe. Sounds to me like you need some sort of relayed power source to get the extra power to up the coil output. I can't imagine the BAS not having some sort of extra source to be able to do that, but maybe I'm just missing something here.
By shorting the trigger to the BAS, the BAS is always ON. This is different than your initial (failed run) with stock coils and no BAS.
This config is with stock coils and BAS always ON. Shorting the trigger will allow BAS to run at the boosted voltage vs waiting for the hobbs switch to close at 3 psi and then boosting voltage. Point here is to exonerate (or deem fault) the hobbs switch and hoses going to it.

99SH - you're forgetting my point lol. I still had spark blow out at 27 psi!! With stock coils and no BAS, it was the same exact way..27psi.

The point it...the BAS is not fixing my spark issues....not even a little bit. Are we on the same page now? haha
I didn't read all that on my cell. But mine helped tremendously. If you are seeing things dim, I think that's bc it's not getting clean power. Should be running direct off your battery for power.

I'll add, BAS is on pass side fender where battery used to be, tapped into coils between firewall and motor, ground and power to trunk battery along with the "adjuster module".

Didnt realize you had it shorted during the runs.
