you my want to look into the opti. stock opti`s can`t handle high rpms after it gets high miles on it and stock replacement aren`t any better. i went throught 5 of them.
before before getting a dynatech opti. but look at the opti made by msd it seems to be a great unit.

I have the MSD opti and it made it thru a bad water pump. Came home from the track and jacked the car up to find antifreeze all over the opti. Changed the water pump and no problems .
