Wanted to know what you guys withhigh boost are using as far as ignition?I was told the oem stuff is good to around three hundred whp but I like to play it safe and just upgrade since it seems stupid to me to blow 4000 dollars on a simple 250 dollar upgrade?

That is a very variable question, which is why you didn't get a specific answer.
Mostly it depends on the technology the car is already equipped with.
The majority of Honda owners can just gap the plugs down, go a step colder on the heat range, retard the dizzy a few degrees and call it a day. If that is not good enough, though, you can easily go with a MSD Digital SCI and Blaster coil and have all the spark energy you will ever need. If you are going to spend the bucks, get something with boost-dependant ignition retard functions.
If however you have a 1.7, the MSD DIS-4 is a great way to go. MSD even makes a model with boost retard AND a extra injector controller built in.

I know that it was a pretty general question but it seems to me that here on h-t people sometimes seem to get really good results from not your everyday setups so I just pretty much wanted to here about all the different setups everyone is using?You know anything from stock to coil on plug conversion. Sorry about it being such a generic question (no sarcasm intended)
I was running a MSD SCI with a MSD BlasterSS coil and MSD 8.5mm plug wires.. My new setup that im building will use 2 MSD SCI boxes and 4 cbr coils(wastefire)..

You really need a multi coil ecu in order for it to be of any use..
