I have a 97 Cobra and am looking to upgrade ignition. Mods on car are 2.1L KB s/c running 6-7 psi boost, Kooks headers and x pipe, Magnaflow exhaust, Acufab Oval TB, 90mm MAF, 42# injectors, JLT CAI, MSD coil packs and wires, and other stuff. I am looking at MSD DIS-4 plus. I have used MSD 6AL in the past but never on mod motor. Does anyone have this ignition or a set up similar, Please chime in?

Are you having any issues with your current ignition setup?

It seems to me many guys are running the stock ignition setup comfortably with boost without a ignition box. Before you commit on the upgrade, I'd do some searching on exactly how much the stock ignition setup is capable of handling.

I've heard many praising the boost a spark. Post a follow up on how it works.
