Hi

Smoother running
A little more torque
Quite an improvement in throttle response at WOT
Looks cool under hood.

Happy I did it.

Does MSD have an actual multiple spark discharge product for our cars, or just the coil packs?

the coil packs are multi-sparking.

people have also took 2 DIS-4 boxes and integrated them into their ignition.

Hi
MSD coils. The capacative discharge is built into the coils so you do not need a seperate ignition box to get multi-spark.

An interesting thing is that when I put on the BMR torque arm and torque arm relocation kit, I gained a fair bit of vibration under light acceloration. I was positive my pinion angle was wrong, so at the same time I did the coils, I put my car on a ramp and checked the pinion angle. It was correct at -1* which is what I wanted. Basically, the relocation kit provides a rigid mount for the torque arm and transmits more vibration inside the car. With the MSD coils most of that vibration disappeared. A realy nice bonus.
