I gained 4HP with a MSD Cap/rotor...j/k. I think the capterminals arebetter quality over stock.

Hey, last year I did rotor, cap, wires and plugs. Basically have a stock mustang and I notice a big difference, more response out of the gate. I stuck with motorcraft for all.

There are no gains/ benefitsfrom using the MSD cap and rotor, other thanRedCap with brass terminals, I know because I have the MSD Cap and rotor.
