My vote is for the stock GM opti, and if you need a new cap and rotor get the MSD.

Whats mods? If your car is not stock stick with the MSD (full unit)...... If its stock or close to it (and you intend on keeping it that way, and not revving higher) then theres no better opti than the AC Delco.

I've always had great luck with the stock GM ones. I'd sell the MSD to pocket some $$ and run the ACDelco.

Hahaha, I like the MSD alot but your right Stealth. This would be a good oppertunity to pocket the extra $200.00.

Although that extra $200 is well spent on the MSD, as they will rebuild it for like $100 if you break it (or something you do breaks it) and free if its something they did wrong (manufacture/shipping). I dont mind paying a little extra for treatment like that
