Default Best HEI Upgrade Kit

Anyone know what would be the best HEI ignition upgrade you can buy? I've looked at the MSD Super HEI Kit and also the Pertronix kit. Anyone have one of these?

Sure. Any computer controlled LG4 distriutor found in your local junkyard, along with it's corresponding ECM, will do. Have the PROM tuned for a constant state of open loop, and give your carbed 383 the advantage of electronic spark control...
