Ok, I bought the msd blaster coils for my car. Are they going to give me any extra HP? Everything I have for my car is lised at the cardomain link on my sig.

not to my knowlege, its just going to give you a more reliable spark. you might see a tiny bit better fuel economy but thats about it. i guess since the fuel is being burned more fully then you might get an unnoticable hp increase but again im not sure

If you get the MSD ignition module you might get a slight increase because itll help burn the air/fuel mixture more completly/efficiently.

If anything, you'll see the MOST benefit when you're spraying, since power adders tend to require a more robust spark than the stock system can put out reliably...


If you've got burnt coils now, you'll see an increase.

maybe 1hp???

What you will probably notice is smoother low end running IE starting, idling etc

we put msd on our 69 impala and top end it's the same, but starting, idling, cruising are all smoother/better

can't compare a carburetor to a fuel injected vehicle, but still it should help a bit.

You'll just have really good spark

I think part of that too is the engine's compression, and ability to fire a good stroke on the low end, w/ out being too rich...

I'd have to do some more homework, but I think that car's ignitions discharge the same arc whether Low-Throttle, or WOT... With that being said, I also believe that because in the lower RPM band, cars tend to run extremely rich, it causes the low end feeling, to be, well, low end...



Time to hit the books..

it's the same spark, it just occurs sooner as rpms increase

GodAmGT00

That's what I thought..


I'm also going to do some reading on the MSD's and the HID2 Systems, see what kind of "Rate of Fire," those things have, and what kind of arc it puts out comparitive to stock..


Thanks for the words..

the MSD module we installed on our impala is designed so that, at 3000 rpm and under there are around 3 or so sparks each time instead of 1 spark... above 3000 rpm it works normal with one spark

in regards to the coils for the stang, I don't know if they do it the same

GodAmGT00

I'm willing to bet it's probably just a Single, regular intensity discharge, if there's such a thing, for the Mustangs...


I haven't done much looking, but I'm actually prepping myself for a big build this winter, and I haven't done much research yet, but I should probably get on it. It's almost July..
