Hey Brian,
I am sold on the potentials and variables offered by MSD. We have used them in blown alky race engines and is the standard for the computer racers in Comp Elim. classes for drag racing (7AL) . More than I think you want but they have every concept covered. I am not a Mallory fan at all for products being sold today. They were good units in the old days but MSD has taken the market for my 2 cents. You can not run computers to control your ET but simple rev limiters and shift points are allowed.... a real joke from old school point of view. If you control RPM limit and curves or way they are dropped you can control a run to the 1/100th time and time again with little else to change your ET.... It IS A COMPUTER but this is what keeps the field of 16 cars within a 1/10th from hi to low spread.
I have had MSD failures but less than other brands and if electronic and bounced around it is going to fail once in a while in severe conditions. Street use is much kinder to everything.
