pro cars still use OEM ignition. i doubt you'll need it or make power.

based on?
if you have a setup w/o launch control, a 6al with a 2 step works good.
50% of the people will tell you it is ****, 50% will tell you it is great, and 50% will tell you they have no exp with it.

i can tell you this, i made 520 last year with and used it for launch control.
this year 710 and just used the 6al with a blaster ss coil.

take the oppinions and use them as you will.

I hear msd sucks all the time but my car made 631 whp with a 6btm and blaster 2 coil.. I know i don't need a btm lol but i bought it a while back before S300. If you get msd just make sure you get what you need. GL

x2

not directed to any one..... How many times have you heard, "damn my car is misfiring on the dyno (or street)...........conclusion i took of the MSD and have no more issues"

if i have seen it just a few times that people took off any modification and went back stock to have better performance and less problems that is way more than enough for me to stay stock.

if your runnin a EMS without a at least a 2 step.......................
