what i am??? Dueatu chevy wants 531 dollars for a new opti stock opti, this gm high performance opti was retailed at $600 plus at this chevy dealer! if i ahve a stock opti then i wil be pissed i am only 17 years old i took that ******* thing apart all by myself! humm????
wow 531 for a stocker the MSD is 499 from summit maybe they mean compar to in price lol. But in all seriousness. The MSd is all billet has a fourth bolt to stop water from seeping in and has an indexed drive so the optical encoder wont slip.
But unless you payed that 600 or 531 I wouldn't worry it will still do its job. The GM performance parts opti sells for 299 in summit.

I bought mine from summit. It was a new opti. At the time I ordered mine thats all you could get the MSD cap and rotor was out but they have not got any in at the time. The dealer wants a arm and a leg for new opti. I bought mine for $400 shipped. Next time Im going to get a MSD unit.
Use these guys. I think I paid somewhere around $245 shipped (from Jason Cromer) for my stock replacement opti.

When I bought my last one, MSD's opti was not released yet. I got a brand new stock one for a steal from somebody that ordered the wrong one. I dont have near the problems that everybody has with opti's however. (The only reason I replaced mine was because of the fact that I could not find the problem.) (Turned out to be an intermittent coil problem believe it or not)
