Completely stock ignitions have seen past 400whp. I have personally pushed a completely stock internal/stock ignition gsr block to 18~19psi on race gas. I had no problems with blowing the flame out. Depending on your horsepower goal (under 500whp) I'd just run the MSD 6A.

well, right now...i'm just gonna make out the t3/t4 turbo that's currently on the car (<400whp). However, I prolly will go going back in the summer and pushing over 500whp. Guess i don't have to worry about it now when i upgrade my setup

thanks guys

it seems like the stock coil and ignition is good enough, but will the external coil with an ignition help a lot?
