Which MSD ignition do I need?

I was looking at the Digital 6 Plus, and then saw a 6A and a 6 AL, which one is the right one? :skep:

Depends on what you need it to do. The Digital 6+ has more/different features than the others.

Need? or want? :D :cheers:
Be aware that they only disharge those neat multiple voltage pulses no higher than around 3K RPM or so.
Still I wouldn't mind one either. I see the digital will allow you to handle cylinders individually. Nice!

I plan on doing the same and will be putting in the Digital 6, it has a start retard and a rev limiter built in.

If i was using Nitrous or forced induction, i may use one of their setups specifically made for it, but the digi6 will work for those just fine.

You said you are installing a SR, what about DFI are you planning that down the road. If so save yourself the money and get the 6A. The DFI does everything plus 100 times more than what the digital 6 will do, but if the stock ECM is your thing get the Digital6
