Me too.

I've been thinking of upgrading my igntion sense Im running out of things to do. Basically from what I know it will give you a stronger spark, making your car run better, and add a little power, and gas mileage.

I've installed a few MSD's on 2nd gens. Not too hard of an install, and it really is a noticeable difference. Better idling, easier starting, smoother power, smoother power at the top of the powerband. Well worth it for the price.
