What MSD do you have???
I'm looking to get a new ignition setup. I have an upgraded coil, but I'm thinking of upping the nitrous and I was told I need a stronger ignition to do that. There is a possibility of a blower in the future.
I was wondering what you guys/gals used and how much it helped or how you liked them. Please Chime in with any comments, the more info the better. Thanks :cheers:
[EDIT] I also saw something about an installation harness for the MSD's. Is it worth the $50. Does it make install that much easier?

I run the Digital 6 with harness not included . This unit retails for $289 . I have the entire setup plus all the safety featurs on a Wet NX sys for sale for $675
Yes the quick harness is worth it, You can install in 5 minute minus the mounting time.

I ran a 6AL until it finally gave up on me a couple months ago. Just replaced it with a 6A since I never used the rev limiter in it anyway and my stock one is set so high it should never hit it either.

I forget what each of the other models have but....
Digi 6+ has built in.....
2-Stage Rev Limiter w/Dial Controls
1-Stage Timing Retard w/Dial Controls
Startup Timing Retard
I think I'm forgetting something else too.

Re: (scorp508)
Did you guys use the easy install harness with the Digital 6+? A few degrees less on the timing with the nitrous could save my pistons on my new engine, that's worth the extra $80.

Re: What MSD do you have??? (mn_vette)
MSD Digital 6+ with adapter harness here. I have the rev limit set before the fuel cut in the PCM, lower 2nd stage rev limiter activates when the line-lock is on, and timing is pulled when the N2O hits. FWIW, if I wasn't also spraying I'd run the stock 1996 ignition with MSD wires and NGK plugs. Any older LT1 you'd want to upgrade the coil also.
