Not too much info on this - how well does the Fullboost launch system from Pratt work with FirstFire igniters? Looking to launch a single H motor.

The alternative would be a Go Box with a 12V car jump starter.

12V will work with any igniter. However, Fullboost and Go Box systems have only 25' cables. H requires a minimum distance of 100' per safety guidelines. You can daisy chain their extension cables, but that gets expensive and I would be concerned that 100' of that cable will have too much resistance; you need really large cables to minimize the voltage drop. Low voltage, no ignition. Once you get to 100' you really need a relay system. Even my custom relay system required me to build my own cable to deal with the voltage drop to be able to fire the relays.
