installed the MSD coilpack last night
it only took us about 30 minutes to install, the toughest part was aligning the one bracket that is grounded on the lower right screw mount - seriously simple install, 4 screws and 7 clips (including the mgmt clip)
other than that we had enough slack from doing the plugs/wires a few weeks ago to easily unclip/re-clip the wires and keeping them in order.
the car no longer hesitates or stutters - highly recommended part; bought from AM for $89
hopefully this will be a big help in the fuel economy department
we also dumped in a bottle of cataclean to get things all tidied up

Hate to tell you, but the only "improvement" you will see is that over how badly the car was performing with an old worn out pack. Basically you just brought the car back to factory conditions. Bright side is MSD does make decent long lasting parts, so that thing should last as long or a little longer than the factory coil did.

Mine needs a new pack, I don't think it ever was changed since I originally bought the car, and I know the previous owner didn't take care of it. And like I tell everyone, if I am going to get a new part, i'm going to get the better one. I'm also hoping that the pack is the reason behind the miss once I near 4,000RPM.
