how do I know if my msd 6a is working? I hooked it up and the blaster 2 with cap and I dont feel a differance. should I or is it just a little increase that wouldnt be noticable?I have plenty of parts already.

 

You won't notice a difference on a stock motor or even a pretty heavily built one. Unless you are misfiring because you are putting down 700 whp and the stock ignition system is tired and can't put throw spark across the gap, it won't be anything noticable.

 

So is that where the stock ignition isnt strong enough?

 

Tell me what you think: http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1546430

An ignition upgrade is really just a waste of money unless you are pushing tons of power...and even in that case, it won't really give you any power gains, but just get rid of the misfiring.

 

the msd boxes are nice on domestic cars because their ecu setups suck but on imports i put one in my friends car and it didn't do shit what they're used for is so you can advance your timing and the car will start up easier so lets say you advance it 20degrees all the box does is retard it down so you can start it up easy and once you hit some rpm it will let the advance timing kick in if you have a turbo though u can buy a 6btm and that will retard the timing while boost kicks in but in all reality here get your ecu setup for uberdata and tune away w/that msd is nice when you make a lot of power or don't really know what to do w/ecu tuning or have dinosaur parts like carburetors that just throw gasoline into the motor so then you need that extra voltage to get in there one other nice thing is the 6al has a rev limiter you can use a 2step to launch the car at the exact rpm you want while holding your foot all the way down to the floor but the rpm willl still stay where you set it at until let go of the switch and clutch some are even rigged up to work off the clutch if your transmission is setup to were you don't need to use the clutch sorry for the long explanation
