Default Stock Ignition or Keep MSD

Need some opinions, I currently use the MSD sport compact ignition and everyime I tune the dyno cant read the rpm signal correctly because of the multi spark I guess. Do you think I should go back to stock ignition system or keep that setup? Will that screw up my car since I had it dyno tuned with the MSD? Sorry if im not making any sense...lol

its been proven the stock ignition equipment is good for tons of power, i would just use stock stuff and sell the msd and use the money for tuning lol

i would get crane hi-6 ignition it has so many functions and you can adjust timing from inside the car..

this will allow you to run more boost and having a good solid ignition signal..

every notice how on dynos the signal skips alot and is not very linear? this is because of bad or insufficient ignition.

call msd or crane they will tell you the same or check out turbomustang.com

what's so good about being able to adjust timing in the car when u cant change the fuel map? stock is best up to a point. once that point is met M&W or COP is your friend.
