Yup! And I'm one of them. I have heard the same from a few others. Mine blew 2 modules in 2 weeks. Sent that junk back and put the stocker back in, no problems since. It's prettier than the stock, but no better IMO!
That's odd.
I guess it's possible I got a defect, but like I said, I've heard the same from others. What can I tell ya. It's the same ole argument, Ford over chebby, C&L over Pro M. You know the drill!!

LOL! How long have you had it? I was half way down the track gettin ready to rip my buddies t/a a new one when it pooped out on me. Yeah, having it towed home from the track, how embarrassing!!![:@] Second time a week later in front of the speed shop I used to deal with. That was enough!!

I've had mine for almost a year, but it has all of about 24 hours worth of run time on it.

I would keep my stock distributor and just run the MSD box. I too have heard about numerous people having trouble with the MSD units. Also if you will not see any real hp gains unless you had a bad stock unit. The advantage to MSD stuff comes at higher rpm or when you start running forced induction
