I run the accel 300+ ign and coil with taylor otvc wires. When I did the ignition I noticed an improvement of low end power but no diff in top end. I like it a lot and haven't had any probs with it.

Try the Digital 6+, nice piece. You could use it with a stock coil also. It is very easy to set the rev limiter on this unit. I have had no problems with it or the MSD coil.

Well, FINALLY after a whole week of the car being gone, I got it back. Let me tell you, there was a HUGE differance from all the old crap they replaced with the new. New MSD 8.5mm wires, spark plugs, and they added an MSD 6AL. I'm very impressed, though it cost me almost an arm and a leg, all this was well worth it. The car idles, runs soooo smooth. Here are some pics of the box.

Click here and here.

The pics are bad quality because the digital camera feature in my camcorder sucks. But oh well, you guys get the idea.

Also, the mechanic told me that it was good thing I got my wires replaced because one of the wires was touching a pulley, and that pulley was cutting it up. I looked at it, and you can completely see the copper wire thingy in there. JEEZ!
