Default ignition box

Would an ignition box help my car I have upped the compression to about 11.5:1 so will the stock ignition be hot enough I already have a MSD Blaster coil and taylor 10.4mm wires with NGK TR55 plugs. I've been looking at the Mallory 685 but I've heard if you put a box on these cars it will eventually burn up the opti.

if your gonna spray go for it. For the price I would say that is a good choice. No if you install it will not up your compression. Running a 6AL on mine for over year and no problems with opti

yea I wasn't asking if it would up my compression lol. I have already upped my compression and was wondering if I needed a stronger ignition because of that. Is the mallory 685 better than the MSD 6A because the mallory is digital and the MSD is analog? Where is a good place to mount the box? I was thinking the glove box.

I bought an Accel box because I found one dirt cheap and I wanted a spark based rev limiter. I am running nearly as much compression and noticed no difference with it.
