Default Performance ignition components.

I found a package deal on a set of MSD wires and an accel cap rotor and coil plus a 6AL box. I am curious if i will see a noticable gain over my stock stuff which is fairly new. The only other mods i have are the K%N and some LT1 mufflers if they count as a performance mod. :confused:

no performance gains, unless you have a miniram where you could actually push to high rpms.

I am running MSD cap/rotor. You will need to modify the cap so it "screws" down to the dist base. They only come with sprung "L" holdowns. (that info current as of NHRA 01 finals where I visited the MSD trailer and got to the nitty gritty, also per their tech dept.) Not sure if your dist. is screw down cap or held down by sprung "L"'s. I am very happy with the MSD cap/rotor.
If you need pics of the mods, let me know, as my dist is out of the car and easily visible/photographable. :cheers:
