its not necessarily for the hp increase, its more for the efficiency and reliability. 95% of higher power cars have MSD or a comparable system

Or if you live in an area with tougher emmissions it will help(not positive on that one, but it makes sense), and if you catch a deal on one like me.

Right, I see your point! Which brings me back to the question i asked. What other mods do you have? You can invest that money in other places first and then get the MSD.
