    msd worth it at this point?

    msd worth it at this point?
    been thinking of going to a msd 6a setup and im wondering if it is worth it. im running pretty decent sized turbo 24+ psi with good flowing heads and etc etc. im just curious if it is worth getting a setup (not to expensive now a days) or just sticking with stock electronics. i already have the blaster 2 coil and i loved that. seemed to help high rpm break up but it could have been just a older coil that i replaced.

    any opinions?

    I have had good luck with the 6AL boxes. Many say that they are not needed tho.

    Well, the MSD box wont make more power, just cleans up the dyno plot at high rpm.

    I should run the shadow back to back with and without to see if it has any 1/4 mile gains on a stocker.

    i run a 6al, and it smoothed out the idle and it never misses up top and the pull is alot smoother. plus it only takes about ten minutes to put it in
