Personal opinions on an ignition setup

I currently have a 9.4 Bridgeport motor running on 2 leading spark plugs with the stock Turbo and a Haltech F10X setup and an MSD 6T wired up from a 1st gen distributor.

I am debating what to do to get the other 2 plugs wired up. Either get the MSD 6AL for smoother idle and rev limiter or get an HKS twin power rotary ignition ?

Also I was told that to have better control of the spark timing to change my Haltech to a E6X.

Can someone tell me what would be a better choice. Having 2 MSDs or 1 HKS twin power ign ? With Witch ever of the 2 Haltechs.

I would suggest converting to an EMS system that can control ignition like the E6X you mentioned. It will give you much finer ignition control. You'll be amazed at the difference in how well a high overlap engine drives once you've dialed in the proper fuel curve. While you can recurve the distributor, the Haltech will allow you to set an ignition advance/retard based on every load point across the entire grid. This way you can maintain the high advance during light load cruise and idle that a bridgeport likes, then drop it down as you get into boost easily.

Converting to the superior 2nd gen ignition system is also a major plus.
