What ignition system R U running?

I've been trying to get that go-kart feeling that I had with my GSL-SE, but I just can't seem to get it with my S5. I've done alot already(check the sig). I'm trying to find out what ignition box and maybe coils to get. It seems that everybody says that they feel a faster accel with an upgraded ignition......so what ignition do yall recommend, specifically for the 2nd gen?

Gas mileage is always a plus. I seem to also have problems starting. Even before I got the work done to it, I would have to pump the gas pedal to get it started. I figure maybe I'm not getting a good enough spark. I'm running 9's on leading and trailing. But what I'm looking for is someone who has tried an aftermarket ignition system and how it worked(name brand ect.)..Thanx

Quite a few people are running the MSD 6A/6AL or the Crane Cams HI-6.

Along with better gas mileage, throttle response is a bit better as well.

For the price, it's not worth it. The only reason I bought my Crane box was because it could retard on boost.

Spend the money to get your injectors professionally cleaned, which will help clear up that flooding problem.

You could use the MSD Blaster Ignition, it specs a lot like the MSD6A but its alot cheaper.
