MSD box - do you really gain anything?

[1795]

John,

I am not sure if the box adds to HP, but I imagine that someone will provide that information. What I can say that the box gives you that a distributor alone does not provide is a rev limiter. In most street situations, you probably do not really need a rev limiter, unless you screw up shifting, miss a gear and punch it. If however, you ae going to track a car, then a rev limiter is a must because you do not always have your eyes glued to the speedometer or tach and it s easy to over rev an engine.

My two cents. Looking forward to what others have to say. Why is it that you ask?
