If your factory coil has no problems and you have but a few bolt-on mods, or even no mods at all, you will not tell a difference at all... atleast I didn't & I have the MSD coil.

Electrically, they're all pretty much the same. They have to be, otherwise they would need different dwell times which would require new ECU code or a standalone. Personally I would buy one from Satan, but if you can find one cheaper and isn't ValueCrap go for it.

BTW I have the "screamin demon" one from Howell and it's been fine for the past 3 years. There was no noticeable performance or cosmetic difference vs. the stock one other than the sticker on it.

I have an MSD and have had 0 issues with it. I have not heard anything negative about the Screamin Demon either.

Thanks alot guys I think I am just gonna go with the Msd just because it looks better. LOL. Other than the coil what do you guys recommend for spark plugs. I had some bosch or NGK( I cant remember which brand) platinum +4 in but one of the spark plugs got busted up some how. I have a 95 gs with some decent bolt ons.

NGK Platinum is what I use....and I have 12.0:1 compression and all kinds of stuff. No problems. Bosch plugs are crap.... Depends on your mods but I would just get standard heat range NGK Platinum....I think that is what they are called maybe Type R or some shit??
