Not many people have ran them yet, but it seems the MSD billet opti is going to be the best opti.

The MSD opti does look really nice and from what people are saying its pretty good.

But I gotta stick to what I have, which is the Dynotech Engineering DynaSpark. When my stock opti crapped out on me, MSD hadn't released their opti yet so I went with the DynaSpark. And I can say first hand that it is one hell of a nicely produced piece, lol I at first didn't want to put it on my car, I wanted to mount it on a plaque and hang it up it was so nice. This thing hasn't had one problem with it what so ever and I've had it for a lil over a year now and I beat on it like there's no tomorrow.

just my 2 cents

im gunna have to agree with toxic. i have the dyna tech opti as well and i went through 3 gm opti's before this one. i havent had any problems with mine at all. plus you have a 1 year warranty on the dyna tech and u can get it upgraded for fairly cheap (under 100 dollars) if u ever want to turn them high rpm's. the msd opti looks nice and i have heard of alot of people using them but i also have a friend whose car is missing and he has a msd opti and we cant figure out what is wrong with his car. the spark from the wires are really weak and it misses really bad. the spark comming from the coil is strong.

in other words just get the dyna tech opti imo.

Another vote for the dyna tech. It is a quality piece with a proven track record. One of the three GM optis I have had crapped out on me after a couple of thousand miles.....
