Default MSD electrical stuff...

What is the benefit of haveing MSD coil, MSD wires and MSD, whats the advantage of having allthe electrical sh*t, isnt the stock dist,and stock stuff work good anyway.what the deal with the electrical, Is this a mod I need, to me it sounds like its a waste of money because its not giving you HP,...I mean thats great you get a better spark, but that doesnt matter on a lightly modified motor.Mabye on a freakin Top fuel Car you need that extra freakin milliwhatever its called, to get a high hp car to spark right. what is it good for on a lightly modified car?

i used to think the same thing til I bolted one on and I wouldnt take it off for anything, it made a night and day diffrence in the way my car responds and runs. I onlp paid $50 for my MSD 6A box and I love it.

a good ignition system, even on a stock mustang is worth its weight in gold! throttle is so responsive with a good ignition system and idle is much smoother.

the only way id give up my msd wires, coil and 6al is if you pry them from my lifeless fingers

it made the most noticable diffrence on my car also, i think even more than my GT40 intake. I unplugged mine a while back because I thought it got wet and my car felt sick until I plugged it back up, like luckythirteen said "its worth its weight in gold"

u run an holly street preformer ignition coil, it made a big differance, but one sugestion i have is if you uprgrade your coil upgrade your dist cap to as the stock ones will burn the electrodes rather quickly
