Ignition question I dont believe has been asked yet :)

Am I just being retarded right now, or is it possible to run the MSD 6A Ignition control along with the HKS Twin Power Ignition Amplifier? 86 N/A GXL 5speed with an intake. Thanks guys!

hks twin power can apply multiple spark discharge to leading and trailing, it would require 3 6As to do the same thing.

NEITHER of them would help at all below 350whp.

I know they like to run rich, so I figured a little more spark would help compensate maybe better throttle response and peak hp?

I installed mine (6AL) on the leading coils and immediately noticed smoother idle, easier starts, and better fuel economy. Never dynoed, so I can't say anything about power.

You gotta look at the design.
I really don't think it is possible.
Your MSD hooks up IN and OUT of the Coil to give the leading coil extra power.
The HKS however is a 'failsafe design" and it hooks up on the negative side of your coils.If anything goes wrong it reverts back to stock.
You can run the MSD,Or the HKS,but I wouldn't put Both on,it is a Waste of Cash like K-Tune says.
Better spent elsewhere..
