cause its not needed to amp your trailing plugs, the leading burns the majority of the mixture and the stock trailing is pleanty to burn whatever is left over. With the hks you'll pay $300+ over the MSD 6a just to get amp to your trailing and LESS amp to your leading.

Personally I dont see why anyone buys the hks.

Vosko runs 3 msd's because he wanted to amp the trailing as well as leading but you have to remember he wanting over 500rwhp.

Vosko, what temp plugs are you running? I run all 10's,and they foul at fast with the stock ignition. I want to be able to run at least 10, then 11 or 11.5 at the races. I am in japan so where is a good place to get one online.

Arrow What about.......

Has anyone tried the new Jacobs Rotary Performance Pack?? I am also going to be in the market for a better spark. I know that I will almost undoubtly have to move my battery to make this work but that is OK, was going to happen anyhow eventually.

Right now looking at MSD, Jacobs, and the HKS. Don't want the frills and bells, just a strong ignition spark with good duration on the low and high end.
