Timing retard system...

I got an insane deal at a local car shop for an MSD programmable boost retard system. They were selling it there, with all papers and wires for $250. If I buy the system, cap, and someother misc. part (forgot), they said it'll cost me only 150. Paying ONLY $75 for the retard system!!! Made by MSD and is programmable through laptop... Is this necessary? If it's this good, I will buy it Monday and load up a DIY and results. They also have dyno sessions I may be interested in (prob after my EBC).

I didn't know MSD had one available that would work with our car, did they just release this? If not, I don't think it will work on our cars....

Will not work.

Look under Tech Notes to the right of the page: "Not for use with distributorless ignition systems"

I don't know... I told the guy I didn't have a distributor but he showed me the parts I needed to get around it. All parts came to 150. Needless to say, Im bringing my car there tomorrow and having them look at it to see if they can actually install it. I'll keep you guys informed.
