msd

Is getting a msd 6a really going to make a difference in performance?

You won't see any difference over the stock ignition, unless your pushing over 600whp or running over 9k rpm.

So pretty much its a waste of money.. I thaught it would give me better throttle responds

Absolutely a waste of money.

Learn what parts do before even considering buying them. It's amazing how much money people waste on unnecessary crap for their cars.

A quicker flowing intake and a better flowing exhaust will give you a better throttle response. MSD claims it will help with throttle response, I'm not sure that you would see much of a difference with it.

I didn't see much of a difference with the Accel 300+ Thundersport Ignition. (multiple spark discharge) I ran it for about a month and sold it because it wasn't noticeably better than the new OEM ignition setup I had replaced on it.

Yeah I would spend the money on performance mods. The only advantage of an MSD is if you have an internal coil and you want to convert it to external coil. I did this on my 90 but I used an Accel canister coil.

[deevergote]

Even with that, there's really no reason to do it. People have said the reason for converting to external coil is for the "performance coil options" that exist for external only... but since we don't really need such things, there's no reason for it. That's like a man purchasing expensive tampons for himself... he has no need for them, but hell... might as well buy the good stuff, right?

These things might have a HUGE effect on other cars... just not on ours. The ignition systems used on the F and H engines are very good, and they'll handle what 99% of the tuners out there will throw at them. You'll be making more power than you'd want on a street car before you ever need a better ignition system. Unless you're looking for a full race or dyno queen, you won't need an upgrade.

I had nearly all the aftermarket bolt ons before I bought the ignition (MSD) and didn't notice ANY increase in feel nor did E.T.'s decrease the very next day at the drag strip. Go for a CAI, exhaust (2.5"), then a cam gear if you have access to a dyno. Then camshaft, tuning, and then gloves. Gloves for the snowball effect that most of us go through.
