Default More Spark???

Have any of you tried Jacobs Electronics? They have a kit that includes 5.0 Energy Pak that adjusts ignition, spark by spark, and says it offers double or triple the throttle response over stock, Ultra CMD Coil, Mounting Brackets, and Core Wires.... Any information on this guys?????

Most of the racers I know use some type of MSD system and it definitely can throw a hot spark! Never have seen the Jacobs unit on a car, but have seen good things about it in Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords mag.

What all do you need for a new ignition setup? Obviously a coil, but is there anything else other then that and an ignition module, and how hard are those to put in, is there much wiring to do? The upgraded ignitions are soemthing I've never really looked into that much.

if you get an after market ignition be sure to get an adapter for the cars wiring harness then hooking it up is very easy summit sales both jacobs and MSD give them a call 1-800-230-3030

Cool, thanks, but is the module and coil all you really need other then an adapter? That's all I can think of but just wanted to check for sure.
