Accell is worse quality than MSD. Can't think of one Accell product I've seen over the years that I would put on my car. Ford stock ignition parts are about as good as most aftermarket and will carry you into the 400hp range.

What do you do outside the 400hp range? Just keep buying MSD's and always have backups?

Great ?? Almost every high powered setup I've seen runs MSD stuff. A few Mallory ignitions also. Now I'm not sure what direction to go with a high hp setup

10-20 years ago I used MSD with no problems. Then for cost savings they started shipping their work overseas, and QC suffered.

LOL.. Crane boxes have worked well for me

Crap, so what does the guy with all MSD stuff do. Let's say "this guy" has MSD 6al, MSD coil, and Vortech Boost/Ignition box for his blower setup. Does that mean "this guy" has to swap EVERYTHING over to Crane? I'm pretty sure I know the answer haha. My luck. I mean "this guys" luck.
