I run it as well as alot of people and it works great, idle is alot better with this then my others. Word of advice if you search tho, the rotor and cap screws are sometiems a problem and are loose from the factory so right away, open the cap up and make sure the rotor screws are right and retighten the cap. I put a light light dab of loctite on them too and it's never given me problems.

Mm no not really. it's just the same design as most of the open breather cans out there like T1 race has except since my car has limited space, we decided to not use filters and use a flat mesh insert instead to save on alot of space. It's basically a rectangle box with some tapers here and there and baffles and holes

4 fittings on top, 1 on bottom for block vent which also acts as drainback

The distributors work really well. You have to take them apart and tighten any of the screws inside with loctite. Also, the pin that holds the distributor "button" on shears off. If you replace the pin with an OEM honda one, there are no issues. I have made a ton of power with the MSD distributors and not had any issues after they were gone through to make sure nothing was loose and the pin was changed. You can tell a difference running one compared to an OEM distributor with the Honda ecu, and they take care of all the stat sync issues with AEM at high rpms.

im running just the msd dizzy no ignitor with a digital6 box and hvc coil.and it diff works great with the aem.jeff tuned my car see sig.
def use med loctite with all the bolts and espec. the rotor screws.take a oem dizzy pin that holds the gear that goes into the head for the cam turn and replace the msd one or it will shear itself.

I did my homework on the MSD Pro-Billet Dist, took mine apart and make sure everything was tight. Exctly 24 miles later the rotor came loose on the dyno and tore up the cap.

MSD replaced cap and rotor under warranty.
They told me the torque specs are 20 inch/lbs and blue loctite.
