un huh. I think thats what people fail to see. Yea, they are expensive, but they tend to be realatively problem free for 100k. Thats not to say they don't fail sooner, or are garentee'd to go 100,000. I know of caprice guys that put closw to 200k on stock opti's. and on the other side, some guys have killed them before 50k, and I'm sure some have been worse. I also wonder why the GM ones is considered junk, while this 2 month old MSD is a god, at almost twice as much.

If you want to change timing on an LT1 you alter the timing tables in the pcm. That is a far better and more flexible solution.

i have the MSD...works good so far....and like you said we'll have to see how well it does long term.
nobody knows if something is a bad or good product until they try it and put it to the test
