I have had a couple come through here. Only problem I saw was rotors were loose. Had an old customer's coil go out sooner than expected. Other than that they were great. If you have an AEM EMS I would look more into T1's cam trigger kit

Id say it's worth the money if you are running AEM EMS or other non-Honda based ECU. If you are running a Honda ECU then keep the stock dizzy, it works fine.

I dont know, there was no spark from the wire or the coil. I called MSD they said to send everything back and they will test and replace what ever caused the problem. I should get everything back in about 2 weeks. Yay for warranties, boo for having to use them.
