Default msd problems..or is this normal

ok when I first installed my msd unit and the blaster coil...the car started up extremly fast...I was like whoa....it doesnt seem to do that anymore and I was wondering if there could be a problem with the unit or the coil? if there was would I have problems even starting the car? how could I check to see if everything is working the way it should

check the plugs for electrode erroision.

MSD units eats plugs every 12-15k miles. I change mine once a year in the spring.

The times I have glanced at the above mentioned, I never have seen what the voltage is, does anybody know???

OEM kicks out around 40,000 volts...

The times I have talked to peeps about up-grading mine (ignition, etc...) they told me to leave it stock. Unless, I was going to boost a high amount, or go with a high C/R...
