realistically it's too new for anyone to make any serious comparisons yet... I'd say judging from MSD quality, yes..... in a serious 8000RPM, 1000hp application it's untested.... most switch to a true distributor....

I will let you know how the MSD is whem mine shows up from MSD
Sorry off topic but. . . .two fast >> in that quote of yours. Is that person wrd1972 *REALLY* dead serious?!?
If so. . . .wow. . . .just wow
Also I ment high performance as in *high end quality and or gives the motor a little more powerful zap of power than the stock opti.* Also in this since that MSD gives me the option to change my timing. Therefore in my catagory of "High Performance".

Welcome to the confusing world of the LT1. Get used to people at autozone not knowing what your talking about.
It's hard to tell if it's original by looking at it.
An if you have the money, I'd get the MSD.

BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT. The smartest thing i ever did was buy it, after I was done takeing out my 3rd stock opti. I take it to 7000 all day long and the motor never cuts out. Smooth from the bottom to the top of the rpm range. The best part is you can move the timeing 5 degrees in eather direction with a standered screwdriver from the top of the motor.

They sell the pro billet one here at the chevy parts center "Scoggin Dicky". - I could go in and buy one off ths shelf here so that's why I was going to go for it. But I wanted some good opinions first.
