7216, MSD Ignition system
Posted by lgeo120, Nov-14-01 03:05 PM
Thinking of getting MSD DIS-2 but, just wondering if any of you guys can tell me first hand about what kind of gains you noticed. Basically, is it WORTH it????

You will have no performance gains at all. If you want to run really high boost levels or really high shot of nitrous you can retard the timing to make it possible with an MSD. You don't want to have a problem with the stock ignition system when you are making a lot of power because that can be a serious problem.
