Default MSD vs. JACOBS

Currently I have the MSD ignition. I got the unit before I heard of the ICE PACK. I'm still within the return time on the Unit; But cant see a difference between the units. Whcih would be better?

I'd like to hear some more about the gains you can expect with an MSD or JACOBS ICE PACK on a NA Accord with only minor bolt-ons.. I/H/E, Fuel Pressure Regulator.

First, it has been dyno proven, in sport compact car magazine i believe, that an ignition makes zero hp on a naturally aspirated car. Secondly, the Jacobs setup runs too big of a coil and has the tendancy to burn up distributors. Two of my friends have the jacobs and both are experiencing ignition problems. However, myself and several of my other friends run msd and we have never had any sort of ignition problems.

I am running MSD on a set up very similar to yours except on a 97EX. No problems. It has been on for about 8 months now.
