Question Does MSD really work????

Does MSD really work for our cars, paticullarly when you are street racing? Or is it really just a waste of money?? I know my car kinda lags in the throttle response but is the $175.00 really worth it? Anybody out there with some knowledge on this please help!!

MSD ignition on our cars wouldn't. If you look in our engine bay, you'll notice that upgraded ignition wires isn't a possibility(in the aftermarket). The black u-shaped things on top of the spark plugs are actually coils. You can get these upgraded, but then you're looking at $500. Search this site for blaster coils...or something like that. Hope this helps...

I don't think MSD makes anything for our cars. How can you modify your car if you don't even know anything about the engine. We don't have a distributor. You need plasma boosters. don't modify your car unless you learn about it first!

You will not notice any difference with the grounding system if you have ngk or denso iridium spark plugs....

Cool!!!! I talked to someone from MSD a couple of months ago and they told me that they was not going to produce anything for our cars, because the ignition system is already good...Maybe they will make something now

The ignitions system in our cars is not the weak link. We already have dedicated coils for each cylinder, so there is only a question of control left. Meaning, you can buy a new ECU and tune your car then it would run better.
