MSD help

Hi, i was contemplating installing msd in my car.

I was wondering, what msd components would i need to purchase if i was wishing to upgrade both the leading and trailing ignition, and would i have to change my ignition map in my power fc???

Help would be greatly appreciated

perfect, thats exactly what i needed to see....but my next question is, would you wire up to trailing coils the same as the leading, and what adjustments would have to be made to my leading and trailing maps in my power fc???
