So, the stock ignition is blowing out on the car. I need to make a decision... Should I go with the Kenne Bell boost-a-spark to up the voltage? Or should I go with a whole new MSD ignition system. I do plan on taking it to the track once in a while, but mostly use it for show and weekend driver. I know the price difference is huge between the two choices, but is it truly worth it????

Id call up the guys at KB and talk to them. I'm sure they'd be able to recommend to you exactly what you need since they deal with this hp level constantly.

Dave is still playing with the tune. He isn't totally happy with it. I should be picking it up sometime this week. He actually gave me the two choices. Either MSD, or Boost-A-Spark. I was just unsure on which one to get. I decided the Boost A Spark though.
