I just ordered a BTM from Summit last night. They Make an add on that will work w/ your 6al. I have the same set up. Here is the link for it. Part # MSD-8762. $182.88

I got the BTM with the Supercharger so its the Ignition/BTM from MSD. I have the Ignition 6AL unit in my car. Can i run both or do I just run the new Ignition/BTM that I got. Will the Ignition/BTM control my rev-limiter like the 6AL.

Sorry to have to do correct you but the 6al is just the ignition box w/ the rev limiter feature. You can buy a set up that has everything for $300+. The one I'm reffering to is an add on piece to work w/ the existing 6al. Makes is so you can upgrade w/o having to buy it all over again.

Are you talking about the 6al/btm kit. If so you wouldn't need the other 6al. Please be a little more clear about what unit/s you have.
