Default need a decent ignition system!

Hey guys looking into getting an ignition system just wondering if anyone had some input on which units i should be looking at/which ones you guys have had success with?
-its not installed yet, but i have a novi 2000 coming in the mail, hence why i wanted to upgrade the ignition so i dont have to worry about blowing out the spark

thanks,
kyle

currently running msd 6al, tfi coil and super conductor wires. if i cant get the 2 step on my ems to work im going to get a msd 2 step to compliment the rest of the ignition. a lot of people will tell you to get a new dizzy as well but im still running the stock one and its doing great

I run a full MSD ignition. I have a 6AL box, billet dizzy and a blaster 2 coil. So far I have no problems with ignition. My car runs great.

smiley mean nothing just that my post is of a happy nature...okay meaning my friend had it on his and never had a prob and could pull timing via a dial on the dash.....but other than that I don't have anymore experience with it than what he did with it on his and it never once caused a prob.

I have a 6al w/ a timing retard module. They work great. I think you can get a newer unit that has both built in along w/ other features.
