Looking for ignition, have been hearing a lot of bad stories about MSD?
I"m looking for ignition upgrades for my drag III powered GSR. I only will be running 9psi for now until hopefully later in the summer when I rebuild. I was planning on MSD 6BTM w/ blaster II coil and modified cap but I've been hearing a lot of bad stories about MSD products being returned/broken? My local shop recommend going w/ crane products but I don't really know anything about crane? What do you guys think? BTW, I'm an idiot and spelled a few words wrong in the title

crane is fine, jacobs is fine, MSD is great, once in a while you get a unit that does not work after a while due to improper install or a couple of components burning out this can probably be said of all manufacturers, and they carry a warranty. they are all serviced by MSD and then bullet proof if remanufactured. these problems have not been associated with their digital line at all.

Crane 
MSD
ignition upgrade is really nice to have with forced induction
smoother powerband, no misfires ect....

i have an ignition system that will work just as good as the jacobs, crane, and msd(it also weighs ten times less then the above) its an easy install comes with instructions and you will spend less money in the long run with my unit from ignition solutions, just let me know what you think and check out the website.

MSD works the best. they also have excellent customer service if your unit goes bad. stock ignition is fine... but the amps do help smoothen out the powerband. then again, thats what Hondata does as well. just depends on your setup.
crane aint bad... jacobs aint bad... but MSD is better.

pretty sure the AEm will handle ignition timing, better than the BTM
