I agree Honda's already have retarding ignition modules

A lot of people are under the misconception that using many of the MSD components will some how be an upgrade. What those people don't realize is that the stock Honda ignition is a really great setup that's not easily improved upon unless you're willing to ditch the distributor altogether. I can maybe understand running an external coil if your stock coil burns out, or something like that. But the fact remains that very few will push the limits of the stock system.

Re: (blueintegra)
I bought my car with MSD. That was the first thing taken off my car when I got it home. I had nothing but problems out of it. Once I got OEM ignition back on it was smooth sailing.
Stock honda ignition can handle 400+ WHP.

Personally unless your over 600+ WHP and having problems, I say you put the MSD on EBay and put your OEM back on.

Re: (SlammedDC2)
SlammedDC2 and Kendall know what they're talking about...I'd trust all of our words and just go back to stock.
It's just like the fuel rail...people upgrade them "to get better flow" when in fact the fuel rail can also flow for a lot more power than most people make.

i couldnt agree more, i upgraded to a blaster coil and msd dizzy when mine needed replaced. All you really need other than that is an amplifer to make 600+.
