No one has proven any difference as far as I know. Did you check out the GMS coil on plug wires ? A bit expensive but at least they got a dyno sheet.

There was a thread on here a while back where someone had MSD's that seemed to just disintegrate on them. In particular the boots, for which he had excellent pictures. I would do a search and look for other input. I do believe it was a C5.

I had never heard any negative comments related to either Taylor or MSD prior to that.

Good luck... GUSTO

Send a PM to Forum member John Shiels, he's a very experienced road racer...

This was the first time I had heard of any problems with any MSD product, but I certainly respect John's (Shiels) opinion and he is not one to attack a product litely... you be the judge. Read the link and you will discover that this is not the result of what you might expect. It's your money, spend it how you please...
