I wouldnt get it, even tho i run the msd opti i wouldnt buy it again, not saying im not satisfied with it, its just not worth the money beings youll probably never mess with the timing adj.

personally id just buy tailer OTVC wire set from thunder racing, msd ign. box, and the blaster coil with a stock delco opti.

it will be cheaper and better IMO. Just trying to help you out where i think i made my mistakes!

Just by the whole kit and sell what you don't use and make what you can back from it.

fyi i would say make sure you go w/ a msd opti because people have said that msd boxes and coils can ruin a stock opti pretty quick

I agree there...The MSD unit is nice and has nice lil features(which you will never need or use unless you're a tuning wiz) but I would have stuck with just a Delco unit, only reason I got my MSD one is cause when I placed my order for a Delco one, they were out of stock and their computers didn't pick it up, got a call back from a rep, was told the situation and that it would be like 3 weeks before I saw it, told em I couldn't wait and I'd just take a refund...but to keep me a customer they offered to ship me the MSD unit for the Delco price.....<----Only reason I have a MSD one right there....
