2. how hard is it to install?

5. opinions on this upgrade?

Thanks
Carlos

1. I dont think it affects timing...pretty sure it doesnt
2. Its easy to install, just have to mount the coil
3. not sure
4. Youre not going to gain even 5 hp on this mod, but it makes it run a lot of better and you might be able to fill it a tad. Should run a lot smoother and the fuel will burn better.
5. Its a good upgrade, Im hoping you also got new/bigger wires as well.

1. You waisted your money.
2. It does absolutely nothing,
3. You waisted your money.
4. None what so ever.
5. The crappy coil adapter will get loose and fall off when your driving on the highway and cause your engine to have disastrous misfires.
6. Putting a blaster coil on a stock ignition is totally worthless.
7. MSD ignition boxes will burn up after a few thousand miles and will get you stranded on the highway with disastrous misfires and a melted catalytic converter.

Other then that, good luck
