Is it worth getting a msd ignition , coil, and wires?

[emagdnim]

Im looking to upgrade my spark plug wires so i figure it might be a good time to replace my coil and possibly ignition. Is the msd worth the money? Its going to come out to close to $400 for all this seems kinda pricey for something that doesnt need to be done or i may not see any benefit from.

Your car will run better and probabbly idle smoother. Unless your really modded i wouldnt get the ignition box just yet.

For a N/A combo, simply said, the stock ignition is good for 350-400 HP.

But as mentioned, the multi-spark feature has improved some folks' idles and possible cutting out.

On forced induction or nitrous applications is where boxes really shine.

Good luck with the decision.

I guess ill just go for the coil and wires for now.

smoothed out my idle and improved my gas mileage by a couple mpg when I got my 300+. Other than that, you won't notice any big hp gains. I've gone through 2 MSD blaster coils though, anyone else had any problems with them??

No problems with my blaster coil except that it made a funny whining noise for the first couple of weeks. I mysteriously quit doing that, though...or at least I don't hear it any more.

I haven't had a problem with my Crane coil [I know it's not an MSD]. I was having some rough idle issues when I first picked up the car last Thanksgiving and the coil really helped.

Haven't had a problem with the coil at all.

The whining noise is RF interference. I solved that by providing a good ground contact on the coil mounting bracket to the strut tower.
