    Really, its an argument between people who have been there, and done it. Sometimes over and over again.

    The is no underlying problem, except the coils are crap. You may be fine running the MSD's, you may not. If you start getting misfires, etc, check the coils first.
    I spent over a week, double, triple checking, and replacing everything, to find out it was the coils.

    Experience is better than theory too. Just sayin

    so im hoping that everyone does know that to run the msd packs, there are interface blocks that have to be put down between the packs and the module itself, withouth the interfaces then your gonna have bad luck with them on a large scale.

    i know theres people out there that know MOAR<lol, im not saying im a guru by any means, I was just making debate that's all. Im a collision guy anyways(sure i cant build a 900 HP car but I can take a totalled car with diamond in the center section and mash in the front or back; pull the frame, and put it back to oem). Were all just bored here at work so we all read these when we're slow. I'm really not trying to disrespect anybody.

    You are correct sir experience is way better than theory. I like seeing things with my own eyes though, even more than others exp or theory. Im an analytical and skeptical person by nature

    Yeah, I will attribute the mpg and throttle response to the plug wires...
