Got it today directly from MSD. Will have some results up soon!

 

I must admit it does look sexy. Going to take alot to prove to me it's better than my Dynotech.

 

hmm interesting to bad they took forever to release it and my dynaspark has given me no problems so im happy as is.

 

Hahaha I ment dynaspark. I dont know why I said dynotech.

 

damn.... i have the 93 version and its not even released yet.... that freakin sucks.... looks good though... congrats...

 

I want to know how the non veted version will look and fair. I'm surprised there are people with non vented opti's running around.

 

im still running my non vented opti for over 45k miles with the MSD ignition... its slowly starting to go...

 

my mouth just watered a little when I saw the picture, what else do you have to run to use that MSD opti, thats the pro billet version right? I noticed the connector is different for the cam position sensor, how did you hook it up?

 

is it true they dont make an msd opti for the 97's?

 

Between the holy grail and the msd opti, I was putting money on seeing the holy grail before the opti

 

Pretty badass if i dont say so myself

 

that version fits the 97, they dont have them out for the 92-93 LT1's yet...

 

i dont see the big deal?? you never see the opti when installed, and the gm one works fine. it's like chrome plating my horn

 

It's whats inside thats better (supposedly).

 

the factory opti is a piece of ****, hopefully this will be the end of the opti problems... i guess only testing will reveal the answer...

 

A factory unvented one may be, but a vented version is a whole lot better. While the rotor may not like high RPMS, when you maintain an opti as you are supposed to do with a traditional cap and rotor distributor they last a long time. Believe me it's nothing compared to a coil pack setup, but they do work.

 

Now Ponyhntr, I hope they provided you with a new vacuum harness or at least say you should change your old one out for a new one. Believe me for $20 it's cheap insurance to ensure you're not going to **** up a $500 product

 

What was the price?

 

are they going to bo comming out with them for the 93? if so any one know how long?

 

My stock opti currently has 87,xxx miles on it and it has experienced a failed water pump. The mech that replaced it recomended that I replace the opti at the same time. I declined because I didn't have the money at the time. Glad I did cause 2 years later it's still running strong. I don't know, maybe I was just lucky.
