ohhh i love msd q's

ok if you get one get the 6a
if you get two you might want to look into the 6al which has a soft touch rev limiter

i prefer 1 over 2,
2 is kinda a waste of money,
im sure you can think of 100 things that will help your car more for the $130.00-$160.00

also dont forget your gonna need some universal msd wires ,there just went another $50.00

some coils would be nice,
3 blaster 2 coils is my setup ,$90.00 - $100.00

there you go,get the wires and coils and forget about the other box unless you got plenty of money to burn,
then i would say get four boxes all msd 6al with four blaster ss coils.


also jacobs has a nice setup that i believe will work,its competitively priced and looks nice and says it outperforms the msd.
but the coils for the jacobs boxes are a bit pricey

6AL will work on leading only, especially with a stock engine/exhaust, just don't push the issue or it can go beyond the limiter.
