I prefer the Synergy 2-step. Fastest studder I have seen so it brings the boost on quick!

Definitly some wiring involved in the SYnergy unit, but nothing that you can't do if you can splice wires. Comes with good instructions, a wiring diagram, and great technical support.

i bought a MSD 2 step this time around. a 3 year old could intall it, just plug it into the coil packs between factory connector and coil harness, then run either a grounded switch or power, and your done. I'd reccommend it to anyone

I got msd one. It was as said very easy install, I have mine off my brake switch. I have not put a master on off on it yet but may. I have not really had time to see how it works at building boost as just got it installed then put car away.

The msd is very simple ,the lingenfelter ones have more features like ability to retard timing with nitrous and to retard timing under boost. Not famiiar with the synergy one.

the lingenfelter 2 step i have goes between the coil packs and just a power and ground but you have a few options on how you can wire it. i dont think you can go wrong with any of the others though

I just got the msd, not installed yet car is away for the winter! I did some research before I bought it and I found some complaints on the linginfelter of big backfiring and some other issues that switching to the msd fixed. But that is just what I have read mine is not installed yet good luck!
