what do you guys think of MSD ignition upgrades?
was looking through brians old thread because I liked his budget engine upgrades

Save your money. The stock 4.0 doesn't need anything more than the OEM coil and the MSD coil often fails prematurely. A number of threads from guys who have gone with the MSD, then switched back when their MSD coil gave it up soon after installation.
