New MSD ignition controller. Yes, NEW This is the first I have heard of this. I was a authorized MSD dealer for a bit, so I still get the emails. I hope this is a improvements for those that have had the issues recently. Has some extra features. I'll give it a chance and see how it does when I can.

IGN-8 vs 6014 This product release states they, MSD, have added some of the features.
They do NOT state the TWO GPO's and EGO AMP
Would the new 6014 have the board mounted MAP sensor ?

They are too late to the party IMHO, and they basically made the same box as Daytona Sensors.
If they wanted to get sales back they needed to make a box that had all those functions and more.
I have a Daytona box now and it works flawlessly!
But I also had a 6012 previously and it worked great too, 8.80s @152.

I just searched for the box on MSD's website and it seems to have some nice functions that could be helpful so I need to partially retract my previous statement......I'm interested to see real world results.

looks like an upgrade to me. individual timing control is awesome and the ability to retard timing at hot coolant temp is a great addition. I also like the idea of having 4 custom tunes on the fly without the need for a laptop. I would like to see the boxed tune is for the stock motors. the chips for the old box had the timing at idle and WOT way out of whack for a LS series motor.

man, lots of good updates and only a $20 price increase
Thank God they finally went USB instead of the serial port. Built in map sensor might be a PITA unless the unit is mounted near the manifold. Easier to run wires, think I would have preferred the external sensor
Looks like they replaced the pills with the rotary switch. That one seems bizarre
And too cool they data log the input voltage. How many guys would that have saved around here
Lets just hope they fixed whatever issues the old box had with reading certain cranks.

They did a good job coping the Daytona box. Lets see how it really works and if it's reliable. And to see if they fixed their crank to run issues. That's ok tho. Just wait till the newest Daytona box is released :-)

we could put it in a cheaper housing and take away from the product but why. Ours is smaller, and weights in less. I wonder if they addressed their harness design ? We will see soon.

looking at the instruction manual, the connectors for each bank of the coils has its own separate ground, which is different from the older boxes. I wasn't aware msd had a harness issue. Or is it just ugly looking that the problem is.
