Scorp, I like mine. I wouldn't expect to feel any difference in acceleration or anything, but for the electronic gadgets and stuff, it's worth it. I used mine mainly for the retard feature for my nitrous, plus it supplies very good spark up high. You may see a smoother idle, but that's about it. I changed my rev limiter in my computer, but you can use the 6 to do that for you also. :D

Buy it! It is excellent and MSD has the best customer service. I recently hooked mine up backwards (don't ask) and MSD fixed it under warranty in one week. They actually sent a brand new unit.

Aqua, I demand nitrous times!!!!!!!!

I assume you've already got an MSD coil to go with? If not, get one.

If you've ever seen the spark one of those coils throws out you know how impressive that is. Couple that with the digital 6 and it's simply unbelieveable.

You'll also want the MSD Super Conductor wires if you don't already have them. With all of that you will get the maximum fire to the plug and it should detonate damn near anything.

And then there are also the cool features. The rev limiter is so much smoother than stock, there is the second rev limiter which I am going to rig up for my hole shot, the tach output for easy wiring of a shift light or tach. Oh and of course the timing retard for the nitrous. Oh, and then the feature you won't use, the start timing retard. That just won't quite work on our cars.

Overall I love it. And I've dumped a bunch of water on it so far and it hasn't quit. Meanwhile a friend of mine had a Holley digital ignition box that quit because some K&N filter oil dripped on it. They replaced that and now his RPM output doesn't work for his shift light. Oh and to make it even better, his rev limiter that is supposed to be set at 5700 hits at like 5200. JUNK!

Can't go wrong with MSD. I wanna put one on my dad's '46 pickup. Of course I would have to buy one of these https://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=4773&prmenbr=361

Then I would make some custom plug wires and get me an MSD coil. At least on something like that I would actually have some room on the firewall to mount it!

I already have the MSD super conductor 8.5mm wires. I have an Accel coil right now replacing the stock HEI coil. I am also thinking of going with the MSD HEI coil relocator to their big mamma jamma 42,000 volt coil.
