Default dizzy cap

i just removed my wires from the dizzy and noticed they are croded and shot so since i already have a set of new ford racing wires ill replace the wires and dizzy cap. my question is i just ordered fro 50resto alot of stuff for my stang and one of the stuff is a ford racing cap is it the same or better/worse than a msd? they are the same price 25$ so if msd is better ill just buy another set and sell the ford racing one

thanks!!

Paying for the name.. I think they have the same materials and everything, just name and color.

Yeah its all the same really. I got an MSD a while back because I wanted it to look flashy, but ended up painting it black later lol.. Theyre all the same. I got mine because the Autozone by my houses sells the MSD for 3$ less than Summit

The only thing about the msd's are the brass terminals. It lets the power flow thru the cap better. Not really that big of a help.
