Default LT1 Electronic Spark Control (ESC) Upgrade, worth it?

Latest Mid America catalog, pg 4-5 New Products section, says "Enhance the calibration of your 1993 - 96 LT1 with this horsepower and torque boosting upgrade to LT4 performance."

Claims:

-Improved spark
-Better fuel economy
-Heightened performance

I like little simple plug-in tweaks like this... if they help. Anyone know?

I say MSD 6AL, MSD GM External HEI Coil and the MSD Dual Connection Wiring Harness - now you're talking spark! :D

That is an LT4 knock module. If you are not running roller rockers you probably don't need it.
Also, Jeff Kopp sells this LT4 K/M for $32.

Okay. MAD is hyping it then, but hey I guess they're in the sales business so they have to.
