Exclamation Advice on msd ignition box. Anyone?

I have a question for anyone. My own a '99 SS M6 with heads, cam, intake, rear, suspension upgrades. However, my ignition system is pretty much stock for the most part with the exception of msd wires and ngk tr6's. Is an ignition box worth the investment? If pushing higher rpm's, am I losing out on my top end by not having an msd box to help, or is the stock system more than enough? If not, recommendations on what type of box to get? Thanks for the help from all.

You can't run a box on a distrubutorless ignition. We have a different type of ignition and spark delivery than what is used for a box. You are thinking SBC-LT1/BBC most likely.

MSD is making a ignition box for GEN III vehicles...is call MSD 6ls (for the ls1/ls6 is the 6ls and for the ls2 is the 6ls-2) it can be use on EFI and carb motors...i bought one but haven't installed it yet, so i can't tell how good or bad is it.....it has a rev limiter and timing control. if you wanna check it out here is the link. http://www.msdignition.com/Products/...)_Engines.aspx
