Sell it & run your oem honda ignition system.
We have made 600+ whp on stock distributors without a single problem.

 

yeh...oem's plenty good for well up to 600+whp

 

I would tend to disagree a little here. The factory Honda coil and ignitor are places of concern for me personally. Sure, it is absolutely possible to make 600 or more on a stock coil and ignition, although I have seen cars that have crapped out at 350, 400, 450,and obviously the higher you go, the higher rate of failure.

I would always personally error on the side of safety, over build your ignition with nice components and worry less about a potential problem in the future.

To further my point if this means anything to you, I ALWAYS have a spare known good distributor with me at a dyno just in case.

 

I do too, however I have seen factory honda ignition systems to be more reliable then the general msd 6/7al with a cap/coil etc. (The most common upgrade on honda/acuras).

This is not to say that a properly setup m&w system wouldn't be awesome on every car, but for the money a factory honda ignition system does very well!
