CAI or a MSD 6A

Stock 94 z28 just a fan switch and a 160 degree thermo stat on it, which would make more power, im asuming the CAI. Thanks.

Get the CAI. The ignition system doesn't provide much of a benefit until you're running higher HP and need to keep the spark from blowing out.

I did a back to back dyno test on my L98 with the MSD6A and the factory ignition. There was maybe a 2 horsepower difference in favor of the MSD. As was said above go for the CAI first.

Re: CAI or a MSD 6A

the only time you get a box is for things like a aftermarket tach, or softer rev limiter, CAI is a virtual lock for hp
