I didn't gain any noticable power from my 6AL. They claim better throttle response and fuel milage, but like I said I didn't notice a difference. I just wanted the better rev limiter (spark cutoff vs. fuel) that I could adjust without tunning.

The hotter and multiple spark of an MSD box is supposed to be the main helping sale point. I think they help more on carb setups than our more sophisticated EFI. If you have one laying around, chuck the thing in
